A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, Ambassador Abayomi Nurain Mumuni, has declared that Thursday’s victory at the Supreme Court will provide President Bola Tinubu the opportunity to concentrate and face governance.
DAILY POST recalls that the Supreme Court had on Thursday upheld the ruling of the lower court which confirmed Tinubu as the winner of the presidential election.
The court dismissed the prayers of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Mr. Peter Obi of Labour Party (LP).
Mumuni, while reacting to the Supreme Court verdict, explained that the victory will provide Tinubu and his team the needed concentration to focus on their task on nation building.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Rasheed Abubakar, the one-time gubernatorial candidate of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in Lagos State commended the judiciary for enriching Nigeria’s democracy.
He urged all stakeholders to join hands with the President in building a stronger economy and greater Nigeria.
He added that national interest precedes any other parochial interests.
He said, “This ruling is a triumph for the vast majority of Nigerian citizens who cast their votes overwhelmingly for Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the ballot.
“I am glad that the judiciary did not appeal to emotions and sentiments but stuck to the facts of the matter.
“I congratulate Mr. President and our party the APC most heartily on this important victory. It finally put to rest the long and tortuous legal battle over the presidential election. This will definitely provide the President and his team the needed concentration to focus on their task on nation building.
“I urged all stakeholders to join hands with the President in building a stronger economy and greater Nigeria, noting national interest precedes any other parochial interests.”
