On Wednesday, Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu expressed his heightened determination and focus on realizing his vision of a united, peaceful, and prosperous nation in light of the recent judgment by the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja.
Tinubu welcomes the Tribunal’s decision with a deep sense of responsibility and a commitment to serving all Nigerians, regardless of their diverse political affiliations, religious beliefs, or tribal backgrounds.
This was conveyed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, in a statement titled ‘President Tinubu welcomes tribunal verdict and calls for collective efforts to build the nation.’
The President commended the diligence and professionalism of the five-member bench, led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, in interpreting the law.
He emphasized his dedication to upholding the rule of law and allowing the Tribunal to carry out its duties without hindrance, highlighting the positive progress of Nigeria’s legal system.
Tinubu also acknowledged that this development showcases the advancement of Africa’s largest democracy, particularly in a time when democratic systems are being tested in other parts of the continent.
Furthermore, he called upon his worthy opponents to inspire their supporters to prioritize patriotism over partisan interests, supporting the government in its efforts to enhance the lives of all Nigerians.
In closing, President Tinubu expressed gratitude to Nigerians for entrusting him with the mandate to lead the country, promising to not only meet but exceed their expectations through diligent hard work alongside his dedicated team.
This, he believes, will be achieved by the grace of God Almighty.
