APC reacts to Supreme Court judgement on Buhari’s election victory

By Jennifer Y Omiloli

The All Progressive Congress (APC) welcomed the ruling of the Supreme Court dismissing the petition calling into question the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the last presidential election.

We recall how the apex court had previously dismissed the appeal filed by the Democratic People’s Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

A jury of seven judges unanimously gave the verdict, but declared that it would later announce the reason for such a judgment.

In its response, the APC said it accepted the decision of the Supreme Court.

“We congratulate Nigerians, the President; Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo; party leaders, members and supporters on the Supreme Court’s verdict,” Lanre Issa-Onilu, the APC spokesperson wrote in a statement.

“Following the earlier judgement of the 2019 Presidential Election Petition Tribunal which dismissed in its entirety the PDP and Atiku’s petition, the apex court was apt in dismissing the appeal for lacking merit.

“The party hails the Judiciary for standing firm in the face of the PDP and Atiku’s subterfuge and for siding with the Nigerian electorate who through their votes decided to do away with PDP’s ignominious past and re-elect the President Buhari-led APC administration which has ushered in a new era of progressive growth for our country.

“With the ruling of the Supreme Court, which has finally affirmed President Buhari’s election victory, we enjoin the PDP and Atiku to jettison their destructive and disruptive agenda against Nigeria, which they have made up their minds to pursue for the next four years.

“The PDP and Atiku should not confuse opposition politics for their unpatriotic agenda. Democratic politics cannot be practiced in the state of anarchy, confusion which the PDP and Atiku wish to achieve. Such diabolic plan will definitely fail.

“Going forward, the President Buhari-led APC government will continue to focus on delivering our Next Level plans for the country.”
