“Let us all contribute our efforts to the development of our great nation, as we have no other place to call home but Nigeria.

“Furthermore, I commend the judiciary for upholding the truth and safeguarding our nascent democracy. Their commitment to justice is vital in protecting the interests of our country and its citizens.”

The Supreme Court had in its judgement validated the victory of President Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February 25 presidential election. The Supreme Court, accordingly, upheld the judgement of the Presidential Election petitions Tribunal (PEPT) which upheld the election of Tinubu in the petitions by Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Atiku Abubakar of the PDP.
