The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has lauded the judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), for affirming the victory of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima in the 2023 presidential election.

In a statement released by the Senate President’s Media Unit, Akpabio described the Court verdict as an affirmation of the popular mandate of the Nigerian people for the Tinubu/Shettima ticket of the APC as delivered at the polls in February.

The Senate President noted that the five-member panel painstakingly evaluated all the issues raised by the petitioners and delivered a clear verdict on the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral process.

He asserted that it is clear to dispassionate observers that despite the challenges, Nigeria’s electoral process is making progress and deserves the appreciation and support of all Nigerians and friends of Nigeria.

Akpabio urged Nigerians to continue supporting the Tinubu government in its drive to deliver the Renewed Hope Agenda of the ruling APC.
