<\/p>\nLanre Issa-Onilu, APC National Publicity Secretary, in a statement congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo SAN, and all well meaning Nigerians.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe APC congratulates the Judiciary for refusing to succumb to the opposition party\u2019s subterfuge.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe note the painstaking efforts and thoroughness of the Justices of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in arriving at their decision. Today\u2019s judgment, no doubt, would go down in the annals of our nation as the longest and detailed, spanning almost 10 hours.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Judgement by the five-member validates the decision of most Nigerians to do away with the past as expressed in their overwhelming votes in the 2019 elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe PDP and Atiku\u2019s petition was largely hinged on the educational qualification of President Muhammadu Buhari and tales of an Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) server and allegations of electronic transmission of election results. This was rightly dismissed by the Tribunal for lacking in merit.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the outset, our party was not perturbed over the PDP and Atiku\u2019s petition, which will go down in Nigeria\u2019s history as the most frivolous in the history of Election Petition. Infact our position has now been justified that the PDP and Atiku\u2019s petition was a complete waste of time. In their puerile efforts, they insisted on taking the country on a circus and wild goose chase.<\/p>\n
\u201cGoing forward, APC\u2019s victory at the presidential polls and the election tribunal represents our collective desire as a people to remain focus on the progressive growth and development of our country\u2019s economy, fight against corruption, and providing security.<\/p>\n
\u201cConsequently, we have taken a bold step by rescuing our nation from the satanic era of PDP, when our collective interests were being corruptly traded among a few pillagers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe note, unfortunately, the continuous efforts being made by the unpatriotic elements in PDP, having held our country down for nearly two decades, to truncate our movement towards greatness. We, however, remain resolute in this journey being ably led by President Muhammadu Buhari. The APC administration would lead this country to the fulfillment of its destiny,\u201d it read.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
