The director-general congratulated Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima and the APC on their victory at the PEPC.
“The judgment of the tribunal has again put a judicial seal on the mandate freely given to the president by the Nigerian people in the 2023 presidential election.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should take the affirmation of his election as a reminder of the confidence of Nigerians in his capacity to continue to lead Nigeria towards its manifest destiny of greatness,” he said.
