According to the statement, “the President affirms that his commitment to the rule of law, and the Tribunal’s unhindered discharge of duties, as witnessed in the panel’s exclusive respect for the merits of the petitions brought forward, further reflects the continuing maturation of Nigeria’s legal system, and the advancement of Africa’s largest democracy at a time when our democratic system of government is being tested in other parts of the continent. “The President believes that the Presidential Candidates and Political Parties who lawfully exercised their rights by participating in the 2023 general elections and the subsequent judicial process have affirmed Nigeria’s democratic credentials.
