Following the ruling by the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja, President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria informed Nigerians on Wednesday that he is more motivated and committed to achieving his goal of creating a unified, peaceful, and wealthy country.
In a statement he signed on Wednesday night, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, stated that President Tinubu “welcomes the judgment of the Tribunal with an intense sense of solemn responsibility and preparedness to serve all Nigerians, irrespective of all diverse political persuasions, faiths, and tribal identities.”
President Tinubu appreciates the tribunal ruling and asks for teamwork to advance the country, according to the press release.
The five-member bench, presided over by Justice Haruna Tsammani, was commended by the President for its expertise, thoroughness, and diligence in interpreting the law.
He asserted that the continued development of Nigeria’s legal system is reflected in his dedication to the rule of law and the Tribunal’s unimpeded performance of its duties, as seen by the panel’s exclusive respect for the merits of the submitted petitions.
“At a time when our democratic system of governance is being tested in other parts of the continent,” says Tinubu, the development testifies to the advancement of Africa’s largest democracy.
“The President thinks that Nigeria’s democratic credentials have been confirmed by the Presidential Candidates and Political Parties that have properly exercised their rights by participating in the 2023 general elections and the judicial process that followed.
In order to motivate their supporters in the belief that the spirit of patriotism will always be lifted above party considerations, he urged his brave rivals to inspire them to support our government’s efforts to improve the standard of living for all Nigerians.
By the grace of God Almighty and with the help of a team that has been assembled with that one goal in mind, President Tinubu promises to live up to and surpass the expectations of Nigerians who have entrusted him with the duty of serving his nation.
