Abdulrazaq

Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, of Kwara State, has described the unanimous decision of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) upholding the election of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, as a reflection of the wishes of the largest majority of eligible voters.

In a statement by his Chief spokesman, Rafiu Ajakaye in Ilorin on Thursday, Governor Abdulrazaq, who is away to India on an official visit with the president, congratulated Tinubu saying “the judgment attests to the credibility of the ballot and the fact that the outcome reflects the wishes of the largest majority of eligible voters.”

The governor also commended the 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,” the statement added.
