Abdullahi Ganduje, the chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has hailed the Supreme Court’s judgment, which upheld the election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Ganduje said that this ruling serves as proof that the February 25 presidential election was not manipulated, as claimed by the opposition.
In a statement released on Thursday through his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, Ganduje also urged the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, to wait until 2031 when Tinubu would have completed his second term.
Ganduje conveyed his congratulations to Tinubu, emphasizing that the Supreme Court’s decision puts to rest all assertions made by opposition parties.

He highlighted that this verdict clears the way for President Tinubu to focus on implementing the “Renewed Hope” mandate of the APC for the betterment of Nigerians.
The APC helmsman called on Atiku and Obi to bury their hatchets and join hands with President Tinubu to reposition the country towards sustainable growth and development.
He said, “Nigeria belongs to all of us, it is our responsibility as patriots to pool our resources together to move the country forward. I congratulate both Atiku and Obi on their dogged fight in extending the frontiers of our democracy and law.
“This is democracy. Tinubu’s victory is another victory for democratic rule in the country. There is still room for both Obi and Atiku to actualize their presidential aspiration after the second term tenure of President Tinubu in 2031.”
Ganduje also called on Nigerians, irrespective of political leaning, to rally round the President to ensure that he delivers more dividend of democracy and move the country on the path of sustainable progress.
