September 07, (THEWILL) – The Minister For Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his victory at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
Dr. Edu, who is the immediate past national women leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said the President will not fail Nigerians.
She made this known in a statement in Calabar made available by her Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Rasheed Olanrewaju.
“Let me, on behalf of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, congratulate Mr. President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his well-deserved election tribunal victory.
“As the then National Women Leader of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), I joined Mr President to campaign across the 36 States and Abuja and I know how Nigerians accepted his Renewed Hope Agenda. He will not fail Nigerians!
“Now that the Court has spoken overwhelmingly, the petitioners should join Mr. President to alleviate the Poverty and Renew the Hopes of millions of Nigerians, which will help to reduce the Humanitarian crisis across the Country,” the Minister said.
The Minister added that the tribunal victory is a double victory as the President marks 100 days of exceptional leadership in Nigeria.
She urged the defeated petitioners to place love for the country above sentiments and partisan strivings, accept the tribunal’s verdict with utmost equanimity, and support the President in his efforts to build a better country.
