In affirming President Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s victory, the Presidential Victory Petition Tribunal (PEPT) ruled unanimously, reflecting the will of the vast majority of eligible voters, according to Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
Governor Abdulrazaq, who is currently on an official visit to India with the president, congratulated Tinubu and said in a statement released by his chief spokesman Rafiu Ajakaye in Ilorin on Thursday that “the judgment attests to the credibility of the ballot and the fact that the outcome reflects the wishes of the largest majority of eligible voters.”
The governor praised the PEPT for adhering fully to the constitution and refusing to be coerced by threats or intimidation based on unfounded allegations of electoral fraud.
“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 have no 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 in the task of building a stronger economy, a safer nation, and a happier people,” the statement added.
