Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Sani Musa, has enjoined opposition parties that challenged President Bola Tinubu’s victory in court to see the Supreme Court affirmation on Thursday as victory for everyone, including them.
The Senator who was at the Aso Rock Villa to congratulate Tinubu on the judgement, told State House correspondents afterwards that he opposition should regard the development as case of “no victor, no vanquished”.
“My message to the opposition is they should take this victory as a victory for all of us, including them, because what it is. There is no victor and no vanquished.
“Since the Supreme Court has decided and is the highest echelon of judiciary in this country and they have decided, though one of them (defeated candidate) said he’s appealing to God, we are all appealing to them to go for the right direction, where prosperity and hope will be renewed for all of us”, he said.
He stressed that those that were not able to take the defeat decided to go to the court, which is constitutional, and “what they did is the right thing”.
“Everything has been exhausted now, and the Supreme Court clearly made it clear that the winner has emerged, and that the winner and president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is the person of His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is going to be the president of this country until 2027.
“After 2027 there will be another election. And if he wins again, he’s going to be the president of Nigeria. So what his opponents did by going to the court is the right thing, and for the peace and stability of this country, all the judicial issue has been exhausted now, and it is now time for governance.
“I believe that with the Renewed Hope Agenda, eight cardinal point of Mr. President, this country has seen a renewed hope. And I believe that even in my position as chairman, Finance Committee, I have seen some of the policies of this government, which of course, we have been expecting that a bold leader should do, and that is what the president has done.
“And I believe, within a very short time, we will start seeing what have been drawn up. You know Mr. President, has been in this for a very, very long time. And he has been well prepared and ready to administer this country.”
