The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has said the judgement of the Supreme Court affirming the victory of President Bola Tinubu is a proof that the February 25 presidential election was not manipulated.

Ganduje stated this in a statement released through his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, on Thursday.

The former Governor of Kano State called on presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and is counterpart in the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi to wait till 2031 when Tinubu would have rounded off his second term.

Ganduje, who congratulated Tinubu, said the judgement has laid to rest all claims by the opposition parties.

Ganduje said the Supreme Court verdict would pave the way for President Tinubu to concentrate on implementing the “Renewed Hope” mandate of the APC for the benefit of Nigerians.

He said, “Nigeria belongs to all of us, it is our responsibility as patriots to pool our resources together to move the country forward. I congratulate both Atiku and Obi on their dogged fight in extending the frontiers of our democracy and law.

“This is democracy. Tinubu’s victory is another victory for democratic rule in the country. There is still room for both Obi and Atiku to actualize their presidential aspiration after the second term tenure of President Tinubu in 2031.”

Ganduje also called on Nigerians, irrespective of political leaning, to rally round the President to ensure that he delivers more dividend of democracy and move the country on the path of sustainable progress.
