The immediate past minister of Youth and Sports Development, Chief Sunday Akin Dare has congratulated the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his victory at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) which upheld the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday in Abuja.
In a statement released from the Dare Media Office (DMO), Sunday Dare said the Judiciary has renewed the confidence of the people in the Bola Ahmed Tinubu presidency.
Dare said the ruling which was painstakingly delivered by the appeal court panel is unprecedented in the annals of the history of both the political and legal class in Nigeria.
He said the Jurisprudential knowledge put to use by the team of seasoned jurists in carefully elucidating and applying points of law in dealing with each of the issues raised by the petitioners in delivering its judgement on live television beamed to millions of viewers the world over 14 hours clearly showed the transparency and determination of the judiciary in strengthening our fledging democracy in Nigeria and also validating the mandate reposed by Nigerians in the Bola Ahmed Tinubu presidency during the last polls
“This victory is well deserved. Indeed foretold. Many people worked very hard to ensure the APC won the election and even when a fraction of the people doubted the authenticity of the results, we were undeterred that the victory was solid.”
Dare said he is elated that the will of over eight million Nigerians who voted in Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Nigeria’s president has finally been solidified with the outcome of the tribunal judgement which will serve as a locus classicus for future election litigations in the country.
“I congratulate His Excellency, President Tinubu for his courage and steadfastness throughout the tribunal. Nigeria is already on an ascent towards economic recovery and growth owing to President Tinubu’s economic reform policies. Nigeria is in the best hands and we are thankful for the unbiased judgment.”
He urged President Tinubu whom he described as a team player to quickly put behind the social media drama of the petitioners behind him and remain steadfast in his effort to place Nigeria firmly on the path to recovery.
The success of the Tinubu administration will rely on the collaborative effort of all well-meaning Nigerians and all hands must be on deck to make this a reality.
Congratulations again to the President of the people, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
