Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta has called upon Nigeria's election losers to maintain peace after the election exercise.

Speaking after meeting election losers in the country, he condemned a few incidences of political instability witnessed in the country before and after the ballot.

Uhuru who is the head of the African Union Election Observers Mission (AUEOM) has urged any aggrieved parties by the outcome to move to court.

Further, he reminded the Nigerians that there was life after the elections.


This comes a day after the Labour Party candidate Peter Obi announced that he would challenge the victory of All Progressive Congress candidate, Bola Tinubu, in court.

His running mate Yusuf Datti-Ahmed confirmed the statement during a meeting with party supporters.

"Here is an incoming government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that is illegal and unconstitutional. We are submitting our case to the court of law, let them show again that level of confidence," he said.

On his part, Peoples Democratic Party contender Atiku Abubakar emerged second in the election and also said that he would also seek legal address on the election results.

PDP Campaign Committee chair Dino Melaye promised a fierce battle in court to reclaim what he referred to as a grave injustice and a theft of Atiku's rightful mandate.

Tinubu garnered 8,794,726, while Atiku and Obi garnered 6,984,520 and 6,101,533 votes respectively.

Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission maintained that the election was free and fair and asked anyone with a different opinion to move to court.
