It is our hope that this judgment will put to rest all lingering misgivings about the 2023 presidential election so that we may all now concentrate on working collaboratively across party lines on behalf of our people.

365Daily – The All Progressives Congress (APC) has applauded the judgement of the Supreme Court which affirmed Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the validly elected President of Nigeria.
The Court ruled on Thursday that the appeals of Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) lacked merit, and upheld the judgment of the Presidential Election Petitions Court that declared Tinubu as the rightfully elected President.
Reacting to the ruling, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, in a statement signed on Thursday, declared the development as an ”epochal judgement (that) underscores the independence and vibrancy of the Nigerian judiciary as an indispensable feature of our democracy.”
He added: ”It is our hope that this judgment will put to rest all lingering misgivings about the 2023 presidential election so that we may all now concentrate on working collaboratively across party lines on behalf of our people.
”We heartily congratulate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, and the Nigerian people on this important landmark victory for our democracy.’
