Deputy Senate President hails tribunal judgement, urges Nigerians to support Tinubu

Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, has hailed the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) which affirmed the election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Barau, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, said the judgement of the tribunal has reaffirmed the choice of Nigerians.

Recall that the five-member tribunal, chaired by Justice Haruna Tsammani, had on Wednesday upheld Tinubu’s election.

While urging Nigerians to accept the verdict of the tribunal, Barau said all citizens, irrespective of party differences, should team up with the present administration to address the challenges facing the country.

‘’The judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal on the presidential poll has reaffirmed the choice of the electorate who trooped out on February 25, 2023, to vote for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the President of our beloved country.

“Now, it is time for all to team up with the President to turn around the fortunes of the country positively for the benefit of all,’’ he said.

The Deputy Senate President reiterated the commitment of the parliament to come up with legislations to support the various initiatives of the executive in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President.

‘’On our part, as assured by the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, we will come up with necessary legislation to support the executive to address the challenges facing our nation. This will be pursued vigorously for the benefit of all,’’ Barau added.
