Congratulatory messages continue to pour in for the president, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour party have expressed disappointment over the ruling of Supreme Court.
In a statement from its spokesman Debo Ologunagba the PDP said the verdict disappointed and “thrashed” the expectations of Nigerians.
The PDP accused the Supreme Court of condoning “serious issues of forgery, falsehood and perjury on the altar of technicalities, which has shaken the confidence of Nigerians in the judiciary.
It, however, urged “Nigerians not to be discouraged or allow the judgment to detract from their collective quest for the entrenchment of a credible electoral system.
The Labour Party on its part described the judgment as sad,.
National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure, while speaking at a press conference expressed surprised that the apex Court will toe the line of an earlier judgement in spite of all the what he described as flaws associated with the judgment delivered by the Presidential Election Appeal Tribunal.
He noted that despite the disappointment the party has chosen to trudge on and to remain optimistic of what the future holds for the nation.
