Rt. Hon. Robinson Uwak, a former member of the House of Representatives, has expressed his admiration for President Bola Tinubu’s recent Supreme Court victory in the February 25 presidential election.
Uwak celebrated the verdict as a significant win for democracy, the rule of law, and order in Nigeria.
Uwak extended his appreciation to the legal team that effectively represented President Tinubu, commending them for their compelling legal arguments that led to the dismissal of petitions against both Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima.
He emphasized that this victory has laid the groundwork for national unity and the advancement of the country under the ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda. Uwak stated, “With President Tinubu’s triumph, Nigerian democracy has been fortified and made more dynamic for the benefit of all citizens.”
Uwak also urged Nigerians to exercise patience with the current administration, expressing his confidence in President Tinubu’s ability to significantly improve the nation’s fortunes.
The Supreme Court’s ruling on Thursday upheld the dismissal of appeals by the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the Labour Party’s Peter Obi. The appeals were rejected for lacking merit and being vexatious, affirming the initial judgment by the Presidential Election Petitions Court in September, which had previously dismissed the candidates’ petitions.
