All Progressives Congress (APC)
National Leader, Sen. Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday urged the PDP presidential
candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to join hands with the ruling party in moving the
nation more assuredly forward.
In a statement he personally signed
on Supreme Court’s affirmation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election,
Tinubu commended PDP and Atiku for their tenacious pursuit of what was their
legal remedies.
In statement entitled:
“Presidential Election: Supreme Court Affirms Will of The People”, Tinubu also
congratulated President Buhari and the APC on a well-deserved legal affirmation
of a hard-won electoral victory.
“The rule of law conclusively
affirmed the collective voice of the people by dismissing the petition filed by
the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and their presidential candidate, former
Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
“The sun rose high in the Nigeria
sky today to shine its light over the entire land.
“Atiku should now channel the
energy and intellect deployed in the electoral and legal processes toward
joining APC “to move this nation more rapidly and assuredly forward.”
“On February 23, the people
tendered the foremost expression of their sovereign, democratic will by voting
for the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“This decision and this day will
be recorded as important milestones on Nigeria’s inseparable march toward
perfecting democracy and the rule of law across our land,” he said.
The APC national leader commended
the Supreme Court for its expeditious and highly competent treatment of this
important matter.
“Democracy has been affirmed and
strengthened. By its ruling, the Supreme Court also affirmed that the rule of
law is paramount; that the law is to be applied objectively, without regard to
fear, friend or foe.
“The law is the law. Nothing is
to be added to it and nothing subtracted from it. No one should enjoy undue
favor or suffer unjust prejudice from its application.
“ In so doing, it undergirded its
reputation as the highest court in the law and the ultimate guardian of the
rule of law in our nation,” Tinubu said.
The APC leader extolled the
virtues of the judiciary for the impartial administration of justice in
electoral and other matters, adding that improvements were still needed in some
areas.
He said that the victory was a
result of President Buhari’s hard work and of the trust the people had in him
as a committed leader.
“With these electoral and legal
victories now behind us, the APC must give due honor to the faith the people
have reposed in us.
“They expect us to govern in a
way that produces the shared prosperity and enlightened future they deserve. We
must commit ourselves fully to this profound and august task.
“Most importantly, it is fitting
to commend the people of Nigeria. You are a law-abiding and good people. You
voted in peace and good faith and you awaited the judicial process in like
manner.
“You expect nothing from
government but what it ought to do for you. You are the backbone and best hope
of our land.
” President Buhari and the APC
shall work for your benefit and on your behalf in order to realize our common
dream of a better nation,” Tinubu said
