Former President Muhammadu Buhari has hailed the Supreme Court verdict that upheld President Bola Tinubu’s election, asking the opposition parties to team up with the Nigerian leader.
Buhari said this in a statement by his spokesman Garba Shehu, minutes after the apex court dismissed appeals by Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar.
Tinubu was quoted as saying in the statement. “Now that we have arrived at the last bus stop, after a tortuous Eight months of expensive legal journey, the nation deserves a break.
“The opposition has fought a good fight. Having now exhausted their rights as constitutionally allowed, they should take the hand of fellowship extended by the Tinubu/Shettima and the APC government”, he said.
Tinubu added that let them allow the Government to run their administration and the people to enjoy the full benefits of the promises the All Progressives Congress (APC) made.
