Gov Alia Congratulates Tinubu, Shettima Over Supreme Court Victory
BY SEGUN ADEBAYO – Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima over the Supreme Court of Nigeria’s reaffirmation of their victory in the February 25, 2023 presidential election.
He described the apex Court ruling as “sound and succinct”, insisting that it is a revalidation of the sacred mandate freely given to the President and his Vice, by the Nigerian people at the polls.
According to Rev Father Alia, “as the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court of Nigeria has demonstrated sound legal and jurisprudential reasoning without any doubt that it is the last hope of the common man, as it has ensured the will of the people of the country is not thwarted and power usurped through the back door.”
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Tersoo Kula, the governor said the Judgment is “a victory for democracy and victory for the majority of the Nigerian masses who voted the president into office.”
Governor Alia therefore urged Nigerians and Benue people to continue keeping faith with the current All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration in the country, noting that with the distractions of the court processes now over, the Tinubu-led government will concentrate more on delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda to the entire people of Nigeria as outlined in its blueprint.
