APC Congratulates Tinubu, Hails Supreme Court Judgement (Details)

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has praised the Supreme Court for upholding President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s election.

The election was confirmed yesterday.

Recall that Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) had previously petitioned the court to overturn an earlier decision of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, which had declared Tinubu the winner of the February 25th election conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The Supreme Court, however, denied the petitions of the disgruntled presidential candidates and confirmed the lower court’s finding on Thursday, calling their appeal as lacking in value.

In a statement signed and published on Thursday evening by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the APC praised the Supreme Court decision, calling it a historic win for the party, Tinubu, and his Vice, Kashim Shettima.

The statement titled ‘APC LAUDS SUPREME COURT JUDGEMENT – CONGRATULATES PRESIDENT TINUBU ON EPOCHAL

VICTORY’ reads: “The All Progressives Congress (APC) applauds the judgement of the Supreme Court affirming Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the validly elected President of Nigeria.

“Dismissing the appeals of Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) as lacking merit, the Supreme Court upheld the judgment of the Presidential Election Petitions Court that found in favour of the President.

“This epochal judgement underscores the independence and vibrancy of the Nigerian judiciary as an indispensable feature of our democracy.

“It is our hope that this judgment will put to rest all lingering misgivings about the 2023 presidential election so that we may all now concentrate on working collaboratively across party lines on behalf of our people.

“We heartily congratulate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, and the Nigerian people on this important landmark victory for our democracy.”
