In the wake of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal’s ruling in Abuja, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reaffirmed his commitment to realizing his vision of a harmonious, peaceful, and prosperous Nigeria.

President Tinubu received the tribunal’s judgment with a profound sense of responsibility and a renewed determination to serve all Nigerians, regardless of their political affiliations, beliefs, or tribal backgrounds.

He acknowledges the diligence, unwavering thoroughness, and professionalism of the five-member panel, led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, in their interpretation of the law.

President Tinubu underscores his dedication to upholding the rule of law and commends the Tribunal’s unhindered execution of its duties, which reflects the ongoing growth of Nigeria’s legal system and the progress of Africa’s largest democracy. This is particularly significant at a time when democratic systems in other parts of the continent face challenges.

The President lauds the presidential candidates and political parties that participated in the 2023 general elections and engaged in the judicial process, emphasizing the validation of Nigeria’s democratic credentials.

He calls upon his worthy competitors to inspire their supporters to prioritize patriotism over partisanship, ensuring that they rally behind the government’s efforts to enhance the well-being of all Nigerians.

Once again, President Tinubu expresses gratitude to Nigerians for the mandate bestowed upon him to serve the nation and pledges to surpass their expectations through diligent hard work with the dedicated team in place.
