PEPC: Accept Verdict, Support Tinubu’s Renewed Hope for the Wellbeing of Nigerians- Akpabio Tells Atiku, Obi
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has asked Atiku and Obi together with their party members to accept the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), which on Wednesday affirmed the victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.
Justice Haruna Tsammani who presided over the five-member panel of justices dismissed the petitions of Atiku Abubakar (Peoples Democratic Party), Peter Obi (Labour Party) and Chichi Ojei (Allied Peoples Movement) and declared that Tinubu was duly elected by the people.
Akpabio, in a statement released by his media office while describing the court verdict as a confirmation of the people’s choice of electing Tinubu/Shettima into office as delivered at the 2023 polls in February, urged Atiku, Obi and all Nigerians to support the Tinubu government in its drive to deliver the Renewed Hope Agenda of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Akpabio said, “I applaud the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal for upholding the victory of our President, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and our Vice President, His Excellency, Kashim Shettima, at the 2023 presidential polls.
“I also congratulate our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), on its vindication by this well-thought-out landmark judgement.
“This judgement has expressly affirmed the popular mandate of the Nigerian people for our party the APC and its Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates, freely given at the February 2023 polls.
“As the Court has painstakingly addressed all the issues raised by the petitioners, I urge all concerned to accept the judgement and join hands with the Tinubu government in its bold efforts to secure the wellbeing of our people,”
