Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has advocated that future constitution amendment should take into cognisance the resolution of all election matters before swearing in of elected public officers particularly the office of the President. The former Vice President made the suggestion in a congratulatory message to President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja on Tuesday.
He hailed the verdict of the Presidential Election Tribunal noting that it has paved the way for the delivery of the much needed dividends of democracy by President Jonathan and the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Atiku advised that the envisaged constitution amendment should design a strategy for disposing of all election matters before swearing in as was suggested by the Justice Mohammed Uwais-led Electoral Review Committee.
“It is imperative that all election related court cases be disposed of before winners are sworn in. This is to remove any impediments to the delivery of dividends of democracy to the people,” Atiku said.
He urged President Jonathan to see the reaffirmation of his mandate by the court as an opportunity to implement his transformation agenda in a way and manner that will be beneficial to ordinary Nigerians.
