October 26, (THEWILL) – The immediate-past President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has said the judgement of the Supreme Court, which affirmed the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 Presidential Election, came as great relief to him and majority of the citizens of Nigerians.
THEWILL reports that a seven-member panel of Justices, led by Inyang Okoro, on Thursday, dismissed the two appeals filed by Atiku Abubakar, Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and his counterpart in the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
The former President, in a statement issued by his media aide, Garba Shehu, said the judgement of the apex reaffirmed “the will of the majority of the people over the determined will of a hard-fighting minority.
“Now that we have arrived at the last bus stop, after a tortuous 8 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, APC made.”
Buhari prayed for a successful term in Office for President Tinubu and his team.
