On Wednesday, President Bola Tinubu expressed gratitude for the Tribunal’s decision while also expressing his readiness to serve all Nigerians, regardless of their various political views, religious beliefs, or tribal affiliations.
Recall that the Presidential Election Petitions Court dismissed the petitions contesting Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 presidential election in a 12-hour ruling. The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Tinubu won the election, which was validated by the court.

In response to the decision, the President, who is currently attending the G20 summit in India, praised the five-member bench, led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, for their professionalism, thoroughness, and diligence in interpreting the law. He also urged his main rivals, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), to support his administration.
Ajuri Ngelale, Tinubu’s media aide, issued a statement in which he said: “The President urges his valiant challengers to inspire their supporters in the trust that the spirit of patriotism will now and forever be elevated above partisan considerations, manifesting into support for our Government to improve the livelihood of all Nigerians.”
“Once more, President Tinubu thanks Nigerians for the mandate given to him to serve our country while promising to meet and exceed their expectations, by the grace of God Almighty, and through very diligent hard work with the team that has been put in place for that sole purpose.”
