Rep Dennis Idahosa (APC-Edo) says President Bola Tinubu’s victory at the Supreme Court has laid bare all unfounded stories about the 2023 presidential election.
Idahosa, a member representing Ovia Federal constituency, said this in a statement issued in Benin, while reacting to Thursday’s apex court judgment in Abuja.
In the statement issued by his media aide, Mr Friday Aghedo, the lawmaker said he was not surprised with the outcome of the court’s judgment, calling on Nigerians to avoid unfounded and baseless rumours, NAN reports.
According to Idahosa, who chairs the House Committee on Healthcare Services, speculations pose a great danger to our democracy if not checked.
While congratulating Tinubu on the victory, he expressed optimism that the judgment would help redirect the people and the opposition on the task of making Nigeria great.
“The division created by Tinubu’s electoral victory was unnecessary, as everybody cannot support the same candidate.
“On behalf of the good people of Ovia federal constituency, I congratulate our president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his victory at the Supreme Court.
“With this judgment, it is my hope that the verdict has put to an end the needless bickering, distractions and provocation that greeted the 2023 presidential election.
“I congratulate the leadership and all members of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), on this sweet victory.
“With this final judgment, I hope we can now all put aside our differences and work for the common good of all, irrespective of our party’s affiliation,” said Idahosa.
