President Muhammadu Buhari says the ruling of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal on the February 23, 2019 poll, is victory for Nigerians who trooped out to overwhelmingly elect him for a second term in office.
In a statement by his spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President was quoted as saying, \u201cGood conscience fears no evil report. I was unperturbed all along, because I knew Nigerians freely gave us the mandate. We are now vindicated,\u201d the President declares.
He dedicates the victory to God, and to Nigerians, while also commending the judiciary for \u201cdispensing justice without fear or favour.\u201d
President Buhari extends a hand of fellowship to those who had felt aggrieved at the outcome of the election, and went to court, noting that it was within their democratic rights.
He notes, however, that with the pronouncement of the judiciary, \u201cit is time for the country to move forward as one cohesive body, putting behind us all bickering and potential distractions over an election in which Nigerians spoke clearly and resoundingly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
