Buhari: Supreme Court’s Dismissal Of Atiku, Obi’s Appeal Welcome Relief To Nigerians 

 

Former President Muhammadu Buhari’s has described the veedict of the Supreme Court to dismiss the appeals by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party against the election of President Bola Tinubu as a welcome relief to him and majority of Nigerians.

The ex-President, in a release issued on Thursday by his spokesperson, Mallam Garba Shehu, repeated what he said about the September 6, 2023 verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court which affirmed President Bola Tinubu’s victory that the welcome decision is “a reaffirmation of the will of the majority of the people against the determined will of a hard-fighting minority.

According to him: “Now that we have arrived at the last bus stop, after a tortuous eight months of expensive legal journey, the nation deserves a break.

“The opposition has fought a good fight. Having now exhausted their rights as constitutionally allowed, they should take the hand of fellowship extended by the Tinubu/Shettima APC government. Let them allow the government to run their administration and the people to have the benefit of the promises the All Progressives Congress made”.

The former president expressed concern over low voting percentage all over the country, especially in urban areas and said this should change given the acceptance and vibrancy of democracy in Nigeria.

He wished the President and his team a successful term in office.
