Also, Bola Tinubu recognized the diligence, undaunted thoroughness, and professionalism of the five-member bench, led by Justice Haruna Tsammani in interpreting the law.

He noted that their judgment reflects the advancement of Africa’s largest democracy at a time “when our democratic system of government is under test in other parts of the continent.”

He further urged his valiant challengers to inspire their supporters in the trust that the spirit of patriotism will now and forever be elevated above partisan considerations.

Furthermore, Tinubu appreciated Nigerians for the mandate given to him to serve. He promised to “meet and exceed their expectations, by the grace of God Almighty, and through very diligent hard work with the team that has been put in place for that sole purpose.”
