Sahara Weekly Reports That The house of representatives member of seventh assembly, Hon. Rotimi Makinde has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, PEPT.
Makinde while reacting to the verdict, said the outcome of the judgement didn’t come as a surprise to Nigerians because from the beginning it was obvious the petitions brought before the presidential tribunal lacked any real substance.
According to Makinde, knowing he had so many hurdles to climb, PBAT worked extra hard to achieve his victory at the polls, adding that Mr. President was the only candidate who took his campaign to every region of the country.
“My heart is excited today because God has given our principal and President, His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed victory at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, PEPT.
“As a Muslim, I am first and foremost giving all the glory to Almighty Allah for seeing my party and our leader through the whole process, which has been a tough one.
“In every election, there must be a winner and at this time, Nigerians have chosen President Tinubu to lead them for the next four years, a fact that has now be given further credence by the PEPT judgement.
“I’m therefore urging and appealing to the presidential candidates of both the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Mr. Peter Obi of the LP, to rally round and support President Tinubu in the interest of all Nigerians, especially as Mr. President has demonstrated so far that he is running a government of national unity”, the statement read.
The tribunal judges in dismissing the petitions filed by the Presidential candidates of both the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and that of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi challenging the victory of President Tinubu in the February 25th presidential elections, said the petitions were generic and that the petitioners failed to provide the necessary proofs to support their assertion that the elections were manipulated in favour of President Tinubu.
Return Of Amosun’s Loyalists: Abiodun Displays Exemplary Political Maturity-Group
A youth group within the All Progressives Congress (APC), APC Progressive Front, has commended Governor Dapo Abiodun for what it termed an exemplary attribute of political maturity he displayed over the weekend.
It would be recalled that hundreds of APC members, loyal to ex-governor Ibikunle Amosun, across all the 20 local governments in the State, led by the one time Chairman of the party, Chief Derin Adebiyi, were on Friday received back to the mainstream of the party by Abiodun, alongside the Chairman of APC in the State, Chief Yemi Sanusi, and other party bigwigs.
In a statement signed on Sunday by its coordinator, Rasheed Sanusi, and made available to newsmen in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, the group lauded the leadership capacity displayed by the governor, saying it is unprecedented in the political space of the state.
According to the statement, the governor has proved his capacity as a leading figure in progressive politics beyond every reasonable doubt, adding that it is now incumbent on the returnees to reciprocate the gesture and prove their loyalty to the party.
It opined that the action of the governor has given new hope of a better future to the party in the state and an undiluted testament that APC is truly a progressive party with clear-cut ideology based on popular interest.
“Prince Dapo Abiodun has truly proved himself as a leading democrat among his contemporaries. He has achieved what other leaders before him could not achieve; he has indeed redefined progressive politics in Ogun State.
“The Governor has exhibited unprecedented magnanimity in power and in governance. No one could have imagined that a governor of a state would navigate such level of gang up and conspiracy within the party to win an election, and after the victory, he decided to reconcile with those who worked against him and warmly received them back to the party.
“The Governor has taught us a big lesson of inclusive governance and purposeful leadership. He deserves an award in progressive leadership. He remains an institution to study,” the statement read.
The statement further noted that the party remains a formidable force in the state with focus on aggressive development of infrastructure and human capital through the ‘Building our future together’ agenda of the governor.
PRESIDENT TINUBU DIRECTS SECURITY AGENCIES TO RESCUE REMAINING FEMALE STUDENTS ABDUCTED AT FEDERAL UNIVERSITY, GUSAU
President Bola Tinubu has directed security agencies to rescue the remaining female students of the Federal University Gusau, Zamfara State, who were recently abducted by terrorists.
Condemning the reprehensible act of abduction, the President says there is no moral justification for such a heinous act against innocent victims whose only “offense” was their pursuit of quality education.
President Tinubu affirms that his administration has a solemn duty to protect every Nigerian citizen, and in line with this commitment, assures the families of the abducted students that no effort will be spared in ensuring their safe return.
Furthermore, the President pledges that the Federal Government is determined to ensure that educational institutions remain sanctuaries of knowledge, growth, and opportunity, and totally free from the menacing acts of terrorists.
