PEPT : Speaker Congratulates Tinubu

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dr. Tajudeen Abbas, has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his victory at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.

In a statement, Dr Abbas said the dismissal of the petitions against Tinubu’s victory in the February 25, 2023 presidential election has only added more legitimacy and credibility to his government and administration.

He observed that while the petitioners have duly exercised their rights by approaching the tribunal to table their grievances, the court has also duly weighed the arguments and evidence presented before arriving at the judgment.

The judiciary, the Speaker added, has lived up to its name as the true arbiter in any case, based on the way it adjudicated on the presidential election petitions before it.

He said the judgment has vindicated the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which duly declared Tinubu the winner of the presidential poll based on the votes the president received from Nigerians.

The Speaker urged the presisent’s opponents in the presidential election and all Nigerians across political, religious and ethnic lines to support the Tinubu administration towards achieving a safe and prosperous country for all.
