Tolu Bankole, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee, expressed confidence that the outcome of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal will be in favor of President Bola Tinubu. The tribunal is set to deliver its judgment on the petitions challenging Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 presidential election.
Bankole’s statement comes in response to reports of media frenzy and alleged threats to judges. He emphasized that there is no cause for alarm and that the judgment will likely affirm Tinubu as the winner of the election. Bankole also stated that the grounds of the petitions against President Tinubu lack merit and are frivolous.
He called on Nigerians to remain calm and patient, highlighting the democratic process and the opportunity for losers to contest elections in the future. Bankole stressed the importance of respecting the judiciary’s independence and its role in upholding the rule of law.
The tribunal’s decision will be eagerly awaited by political observers and stakeholders as it will have significant implications for Nigeria’s political landscape.
