Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima on their victory at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

Lagos - In a display of solidarity and support, Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has extended his congratulations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima on their recent victory at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

The triumph at the tribunal has been hailed as a testament to the resilience of Nigeria's democratic institutions and a firm affirmation that the country's courts remain the hope of the common man.

A statement released by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Bello, Onogwu Muhammed, emphasized the significance of the judgment. It noted that the decision upheld the will of the people, as clearly demonstrated during the elections held on February 25, 2023.

"The outcome of the tribunal reaffirms the importance of fair and transparent electoral processes in our great nation," Governor Bello remarked.

Furthermore, Governor Bello expressed his belief that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, known for his democratic principles and fatherly figure in Nigerian politics, would demonstrate magnanimity by extending hands of unity to those who may not have been favored by the court's decision.

"The gesture of inclusivity will further strengthen Nigeria's democracy and foster national unity," the statement continued.

The governor also extended his congratulations to the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership while urging the party to extend an open invitation to all candidates who participated in the election on the platform of other political parties. He emphasized the need for cooperation and collaboration for the greater good of Nigeria.

"It is important for all parties to set aside their differences and come together for the progress of our nation," Governor Bello urged.

He expressed his confidence in President Bola Tinubu's leadership, stating that Nigeria will continue to prosper and thrive under his guidance.

In a landmark ruling on Tuesday, the panel of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, acknowledged that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was duly elected, in line with the announcement made by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

As the congratulatory messages pour in, Nigeria looks forward to a future marked by unity, inclusivity, and a commitment to democratic values.
