“I commend the judiciary for their steadfastness in upholding the integrity of our judicial system. Today’s verdict is a testament to the power of democracy and the rule of law.
“I also congratulate the leadership of our great party, the All Progressives Congress. This landmark victory once again proves that our party won the mandate of the people and further strengthens the President’s commitment and tenacity to serve the nation.
