Edited By Georgina Humphrey

The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party, Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam, has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on the validation of his electoral victory by the Supreme Court.

A statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Ambassador Rufus Aiyenigba in Abuja, commends the team of judges for doing justice by dealing with the contentious issues in an unimpeachable fashion, thereby, deepening faith in democracy.

The statement thereby calls on all Nigerians, particularly the political class to rally support for the President in his efforts to rebuild the country through the well-thought-out Renewed Hope Agenda.

“We also use this momentous occasion to call on Mr President, who is a renowned true democrat and a celebrated Nigerian patriot, to enhance implementation of strategic national economic policies, and also to keep expanding the frontiers of national development programmes by being intentional in reinforcing national unity, integration, and economic revitalization”.

It also expresses great confidence in Mr President’s capacity and commitment to engender a good Nigerian society and achieve noble legacies, particularly his disposition to strengthen the electoral system by delivering free, fair and credible off-season governorship elections in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi States next month.

The statement states that all hands must be on deck on this journey to build a new and strong Nigeria.

It calls on the Legislature, Judiciary, Media, all segments of the society, and essential building-blocks of the country to work in harmony with the President to fast-track the return to national productivity so as to achieve a great Nigeria for all.

“The SDP humbly and respectfully wish to call the attention of the President to the prevailing economic hardship that Nigerians are currently going through at this time. This is prevalent in all classes and categories of people and across all communities.

“The President therefore needs to bring to the fore, very quickly, his ingenuity, innovative solutions, famed economic management skills and wealth-creation acumen by deploring strategic, broad-based people-centred economic programmes and social welfare interventions to significantly ameliorate the current economic crisis and declining standards of living.
