President Election Court: Atiku, Obi fight on as Tinubu, Buhari, Ganduje hail judgement

DAILY POST recalls that the five-man panel, in a final judgement read by Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani,filed by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Labour Party, LP, and the Allied Peoples Movement, APM.

However, for the All Progressives Congress, APC, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and a former President, Muhammadu Buhari, it was an anticipated victory and a true reflection of the wishes of the people.But in the camp of the PDP and the LP, it is a glaring miscarriage of justice.

He wondered why the Tribunal, which ruled against live telecast of proceedings, suddenly allowed live coverage of the judgement. “We salute the doggedness of our team of lawyers who fearlessly exposed the wrath in our system. We can only weep for democracy in Nigeria but we refuse to give up on Nigeria.”

“The President affirms that his commitment to the rule of law, and the unhindered discharge of duties by the Tribunal, as witnessed in the panel’s exclusive respect for the merits of the petitions brought forward, further reflects the continuing maturation of Nigeria’s legal system, and the advancement of Africa’s largest democracy at a time when our democratic system of government is under test in other parts of the continent.

“If anybody has won today it is democracy and the people. With the verdict of the Supreme Court, the election period is over and it is time to put the heat and dust behind us,” Buhari said. The APC National Chairman described the verdict as a true reflection of the presidential election, assuring that the President Tinubu-led administration would surely live up to his electoral promises to reposition the country, achieve the desired growth and progress.

“May I also congratulate the Nigerian Judiciary for adjudicating on the issues arising from the presidential election without fear or favour by doing the right thing. With this judgement, a precedent has been set for electoral matters in the country. Isiguzoro, who is a factional Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, told DAILY POST that it was time to unite and work for the progress and unity of the country.
