President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday September 6 welcomed the ruling of the presidential election petition court PEPT which validated his victory in the February 25 presidential election.
According to a statement released by his media office, President Tinubu also called for collective efforts to build Nigeria.
The Nigerian Leader praised the five-member bench, led by Justice Haruna Tsammani for their “diligence, undaunted thoroughness, and professionalism”.
“The President urges his valiant challengers (Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi) to inspire their supporters in the trust that the spirit of patriotism will now and forever be elevated above partisan considerations, manifesting into support for our Government to improve the livelihood of all Nigerians” Tinubu’s statement partly reads.
Meanwhile, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bayo Onanuga, has hailed the final outcome of the 2023 presidential election tribunal.
Writing on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday evening, Onanuga said the verdict has shown that President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 presidential election was divinely planned.
The APC chieftain said Tinubu’s victory was not ordinary because he won against several challenges, such as currency scarcity, and fuel scarcity, which were stacked against him before the election.
Onanuga expressed hope that the campaign of calumny and insults on social media, especially by supporters of Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, will stop, stressing that the President deserves respect from all of Nigerians.
He also called on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party and their candidates to join the APC government in the task of rebuilding the nation.
“The court of law has given definitive pronouncements on those distorted issues you drag the president about. The President of the largest black nation and Africa’s biggest democracy deserves respect from all of us. No less.
“It’s time for the PDP and Labour Party to join him in the big task of rebuilding our nation” he said.
