Read Time:1 Minute, 32 Second
Godswill Akpabio, the president of the Senate, has praised the Presidential Election Petition Court’s (PEPC) decision, which on Wednesday unanimously upheld President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima’s victory in the 2023 presidential election.
Akpabio characterised the court ruling as an affirmation of the popular mandate given by the Nigerian people for the Tinubu/Shettima ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the February election in a statement issued by the Office of the Senate President Media Unit.
The Senate President sincerely congratulated President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima on the Court’s thoughtful ruling, resoundingly affirming their popular mandate.
According to Akpabio, the five-member panel thoroughly considered all the petitioners’ concerns and rendered a judgement on the legitimacy of Nigeria’s electoral process.
He claimed that despite the difficulties, it is obvious to objective observers that Nigeria’s election process is moving forward steadily and merits the praise and support of all Nigerians and supporters of Nigeria.
Akpabio urged Nigerians to support the Tinubu administration’s efforts to carry out the Renewed Hope Agenda of the ruling APC.
“I applaud the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal for upholding the victory of our President, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and our Vice President, His Excellency, Kashim Shettima, at the 2023 presidential polls.
“I also congratulate our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), on its vindication by this well-thought-out landmark judgement.
“This judgement has expressly affirmed the popular mandate of the Nigerian people for our party the APC and its Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates, freely given at the February 2023 polls.
“As the Court has painstakingly addressed all the issues raised by the petitioners, I urge all concerned to accept the judgement and join hands with the Tinubu government in its bold efforts to secure the wellbeing of our people,” Akpabio said.
