Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, over the reaffirmation of their victory at the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
A statement by Sir Tersoo Kula, Chief Press Secretary to the governor made available to The AUTHORITY newspaper in Makurdi Thursday, described the verdict of the Supreme Court as sound and succinct.
According to the governor, “the judgment is a revalidation of the sacred mandate freely given to the President and his Vice, during the February 25th, 2023 presidential polls”.
The statement further said, “as the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court of Nigeria has demonstrated sound legal and jurisprudential reasoning without any doubt that it is the last hope of the common man, as it has ensured the will of the people of the country is not thwarted and power usurped through the back door”.
Gov. Alia described the Judgment as
a victory for democracy and for the majority of the Nigerian masses who voted the president into office.
He called on Benue people and all Nigerians to continue to keep faith with the current APC led administration in the country.
“Now that the distractions of the court processes are over, the Tinubu led government will concentrate more on delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda to the entire people of Nigeria as outlined in its blueprint”.
