Ex-president Buhari congratulates Tinubu, welcomes Supreme Court verdict…. 

Former President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated President Tinubu on the verdict of the Supreme Court affirming his election victory.

He wished the president and his team a successful term in office.

A statement signed by ex-president’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu noted that Buhari repeated what he said on the earlier 6 September verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court, which affirmed President Tinubu’s victory, that the welcome decision is “a reaffirmation of the will of the majority of the people against the determined will of a hard-fighting minority.”

“The opposition has fought a good fight. Having now exhausted their rights as constitutionally allowed, they should take the hand of fellowship extended by the Tinubu/Shettima government.

The former president also expressed concern over low voting percentages all over the country, especially in urban areas, and said this should change, given the acceptance and vibrancy of democracy in Nigeria.
