President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reacted to the judgment of the Presidential Election Petitions Court (PEPC) dismissing the petitions filed against him by the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar.
Tinubu, in a statement released by his media aide, Ajuri Ngelale, said he welcomes the judgment with an intense sense of solemn responsibility and preparedness to serve all Nigerians, irrespective of all diverse political persuasions, faiths, and tribal identities.
According to the statement, the President believes the presidential candidates and political parties that had lawfully exercised their rights by participating in the 2023 general elections and the judicial process which followed had affirmed Nigeria’s democratic credentials.
The statement reads, “The President recognizes the diligence, undaunted thoroughness, and professionalism of the five-member bench, led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, in interpreting the law.
“The President urges his valiant challengers 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.
“Once more, President Tinubu thanks Nigerians for the mandate given to him to serve our country while promising to meet and exceed their expectations, by the grace of God Almighty, and through very diligent hard work with the team that has been put in place for that sole purpose.”
