The Supreme Court’s recognition of President Bola Tinubu as the victor of the February 25, 2023, presidential election is consistent with the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) “go-to-court” policy, which is spearheaded by Prof. Mahmoud Yakub.
Remember that the Supreme Court upheld Tinubu’s victory in the polls and rejected the appeals of Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party and Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
The Eastern Union’s national president, Hon. Charles Anike, informed Gistlover on Friday that the ruling would serve as a testimonial for many years to come.
According to him, “We accept the decision of the justices of the apex court in good faith. We’re learning a lot about the operators of our institutions.
“We can now understand the deeper meaning of the ‘Go-to-Court’ mantra of INEC and APC. However, both the justices of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal and those of the Supreme Court must bear in their minds that the judgements they have declared will remain a testimony and references to their names, as they have laid precedents that will continue to be referenced for posterity.
“We encourage Nigerians to remain peaceful, focused and go about their lawful businesses. We continue to look forward to the grand finale of the judgments from the Supreme Court of Heaven because all power belongs to God.”
