Buhari expressed his happiness with the ruling of the Court confirming the victory of the APC and its candidate, President Tinubu and his running mate, Vice President Kashim Shettima in the February 25 election.
Former President Muhammadu Buhari says democracy and Nigerians have won with the ruling of the Presidential Election Petition Court that upheld the election of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday.
In a statement issued by his media aide, Malam Garba Shehu on Wednesday night, Buhari urged the victorious Tinubu-led APC administration to get the support of everyone to deliver the promises he had made to the Nigerian people.
According to Shehu, Buhari expressed his happiness with the ruling of the Court confirming the victory of the APC and its candidate, President Tinubu and his running mate, Vice President Kashim Shettima in the February 25 election.
The former President said the PEPC has “written history” by spurning intimidation and all manner of prejudice to deliver justice, according to law, to a majority of citizens whose wish is that the choices they made are respected.
“If anybody has won today it is the democracy and the people,” he said, adding that “with the verdict of the Supreme Court, the election period is over and it is time to put the heat and dust behind us.
“From here, the new APC administration led by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu should get the support of everyone in order to deliver the promises it made to the people.”
The former President also voiced his appreciation to all citizens for maintaining peace throughout this period and prayed for continued progress and development under the APC government.
He sent warm congratulations to the President, the Vice President and the APC on the victory in court, expressing his best wishes to them in fulfilling the people's aspirations.
