AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the Kwara State Governor and Chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) on Thursday, congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on the victory recorded on Wednesday at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) in Abuja.
AbdulRazaq, in a statement by his spokesperson, Rafiu Ajakaye, said the judgment attests to the credibility of the ballot and the fact that the outcome reflects the wishes of the immense majority of the eligible voters, commending the Court of Appeal/PEPT for standing strictly with the constitution, and not succumbing to threats and intimidation anchored on fact-free claims of electoral malpractice.
The statement reads, “In the final analysis, our democracy has been enriched and the right of Nigerians to freely elect leaders of their choice equally upheld as all issues were clinically examined and resolved in line with all relevant laws. The judgment is a triumph of truth,” the Governor said.
“We do not doubt that this decision of the PEPT will strengthen the resolve of the President to continue to deliver on his campaign promises to the good people of Nigeria. We promise to continue to work with Mr. President and his great team to build a stronger economy, a safer nation, and a happier people.”
