Former president Muhammadu Buhari has described the Supreme Court verdict upholding President Bola Tinubu’s election as a relief to him and to a majority of the citizens.
In a statement issued by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, he repeated what he said on September 6th verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court which affirmed Tinubu’s victory saying the ruling is “a reaffirmation of the will of the majority of the people against 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 expressed concern over low voting percentage all over the country, especially in urban areas and said this should change given the acceptance and vibrancy of democracy in Nigeria.
He wished the President and his team a successful term in office.
