APC Hails Supreme Court’s Affirmation of President Buhari’s Election Victory

BY GRACE ANYANWU, ABUJA – The All Progressives Congress (APC), on Wednesday said that the Supreme Court was apt in dismissing the appeal file by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP, and its Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar for lacking merit.

The ruling Party while hailing the Supreme Court’s dismissal of the appeal, noted that this followed the earlier judgement of the 2019 Presidential Election Petition Tribunal which dismissed in its entirety the PDP and Atiku’s petition,

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by the PDP and Atiku against President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 election victory.

The APC in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu congratulated Nigerians, President Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, party leaders, members and supporters on the Supreme Court’s verdict.

The Party hailed 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 the country.

APC said that with the ruling of the Supreme Court, which has finally affirmed President Buhari’s election victory, it 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 APC statement further states; “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.”
