PEPT: Buhari praises Tinubu’s victory, asserts that tribunal has rewritten history

On Wednesday, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (ret. ), a former president, expressed his happiness with the decision of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal, which recognized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the winner of the February 25 election on behalf of the All Progressives Congress.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Buhari claimed that the Tribunal had “created history” by defying intimidation and all kinds of bias in order to deliver justice in accordance with the law and to the majority of Nigerians, who wanted their decisions to be recognized.

The Supreme Court’s decision means that the election season is finished, and it is now time to put the heat and dust behind us. If anyone has won today, it is democracy and the people, the speaker continues.

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s new APC administration “should gain the backing of everyone from here on out in order to deliver the promises it made to the people,” he stated.

The former president also thanked all Nigerians for upholding peace during that time and prayed for continuing advancement and development under the APC administration.

He offered heartfelt congratulations to the President, the Vice President, and the APC on their win in court and best wishes for realizing the goals of the people.
