Supreme Court judgement: NNPP congratulates Tinubu on victory

By Musa Baba Adamu

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has felicitated President Bola Tinubu on his victory at the Supreme Court, wishing him successful tenure.
The Lagos State NNPP Secretary, Sheriff Oladejo, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) yesterday in Lagos.
According to him, Tinubu’s victory at the Supreme Court will enable him to pay full attention to governance.
It said: “We, as a political party, did not go to court for reasons best known to us, but some other political parties have the absolute right to have approached the court if they felt they had genuine grievances.
“It is important to note that all the parties have exhausted their privileges, and the final court has given its verdict.
“We hope from this moment that the president will fully concentrate on the task of governance.
“As a party, we wish President Bola Tinubu and his party a safe landing in piloting the affairs of our people.”
The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, which affirmed Tinubu’s election on Feb. 25.
The court dismissed appeals by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for the election, and his Labour Party counterpart, Mr Peter Obi, against the judgment of the tribunal.
