FORMER Nigeria President, Muhammadu Buhari, has commended the Presidential Elections Petition Court (PEPC) for confirming the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s Candidate, President Bola Tinubu.
Buhari expressed his joy in a statement released by his spokesperson, Garba Shehu.
The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday, passed its judgment on the petitions of the Labour Party (LP), People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and others against the victory of the APC and President Bola Tinubu at the concluded 2023 Presidential election.
“If anybody has won today it is the democracy and the people,” adding “with the verdict of the Supreme Court, the election period is over and it is time to put the heat and dust behind us,” the statement read.
Buhari subsequently called on the Tinubu-led administration to ensure it brings everyone on board so the party can eventually fulfill its election manifesto.
He extended his congratulations to President Bola Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima and the APC for their confirmation by the tribunal.
The ex President also commended Nigerians for ensuring peace reigned throughout the PEPT proceedings.
