Ahead of the final judgement of the Presidential Election
Petition Tribunal, Bashir Ahmad, an erstwhile media aide to former President
Muhammad Buhari, has expressed confidence that the court would uphold President
Bola Tinubu’s victory.
In a post on his official X account, Bashir claimed that the
president is committed to democratic principles, citing his respect for the
judiciary.
According to him, since the tribunal commenced hearing the
petition filed by the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, seeking to truncate Tinubu’s
victory, the president has continued to advocate for the rule of law.
He wrote, “As we await the final pronouncement of the
verdict from the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, the confidence in
President Bola Tinubu’s victory remains steadfast.
“His electoral mandate, and his unshakable respect for the
judiciary is a hallmark of his commitment to democratic principles. Throughout
the tribunal proceedings, he has consistently advocated for due process and the
rule of law”.
The five-member panel of the
Presidential Election Petition Court, led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, are
currently declaring judgment on the petitions.
The court had earlier thrown out a suit filed before it by
the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) seeking the disqualification of Vice
President Kashim Shettima.
