A member of the National Working Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress has expressed his personal opinion on the presidential election petition tribunal. Mr. Tolu Bankole said that the verdict of the court will favour the president, Bola Tinubu.
Both Peter Obi (Labour Party) and Atiku Abubakar (PDP) have asked the court (tribunal ) to declare that the incumbent president didn’t win the election. The Court of Appeal has fixed Wednesday (tomorrow) for the ruling.
But the chieftain of the APC said that the ruling would surely favour the president. He said the facts of the case from the plaintiffs and the defendants favour the president.
He said, “In view of the current media and social media pressure and in some cases propaganda by some alarmists in the country as it relates to the would-be outcome of the presidential election tribunal, I am more than confident that the judgment will be resoundingly in favour of our dear president, H.E Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This is borne out of facts from the case, which was canvased by both the plaintiffs and defendants before the Presidential Elections Petitions Tribunal in Abuja
“In my opinion, it is evidently clear that the grounds of the petitions against our dear president lack merit, is frivolous, a waste of time and pure academic exercise. Nigeria’s judiciary has always shown to be above board, incorruptible and not one to be bullied by sore losers and their keypad warriors, and tomorrow’s verdict will not be an exemption.
“The beauty of participatory democracy is that there is always another opportunity to contest. The next national election is in 2027. Instead of cyber stalking and threatening to make the country ungovernable, the losers should go and try again. I appeal to all Nigerians to be calm and patient. Tomorrow is great”.
