The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has urged aggrieved participants arising from the February 25th Presidential and National Assembly elections to apply lawful means in expressing their grievances.

The Speaker stated that post-election disputes in a complex country like Nigeria were expected, but noted that ultimately democracy must be safeguarded while disagreements were being resolved.

Gbajabiamila noted that this was the reason both the Nigerian Constitution and the Electoral Act, 2022, made provisions on the resolution of disputes through lawful and peaceful means, post-election.
