Kwara Governor Hails PEPT Judgment As Triumph Of Truth, Law

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has extended his congratulations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) following the unanimous decision of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) affirming the President’s election victory.

AbdulRazaq, through his Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, in a statement signed on Thursday,  said the Governor, currently accompanying the President on his official visit to India, views this judgment as a testament to the integrity of the electoral process, affirming that the election results align with the preferences of the vast majority of eligible voters.

He also commended the Court of Appeal/PEPT for standing strictly with the constitution, and not succumbing to threats and intimidation anchored on fact-free claims of electoral malpractice.

“In the final analysis, our democracy has been enriched and the right of Nigerians to freely elect leaders of their choice equally upheld as all issues were clinically examined and resolved in line with all relevant laws. The judgment is a triumph of truth,” the Governor said.

“We have no doubt that this decision of the PEPT will strengthen the resolve of the President to continue to deliver on his campaign promises to the good people of Nigeria. We promise to continue to work with Mr. President and his great team in the task of building a stronger economy, a safer nation, and a happier people.”
