Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated President Bola Tinubu on the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court sitting in Abuja which upheld the latter’s victory in the 2023 presidential election.
Sanwo-Olu described the verdict of the court as an affirmation of the Will of over eight million Nigerians who cast their votes for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election.
The governor, in a statement issued on Wednesday by his Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile, said Nigerians had spoken through the ballots, noting that the court has also validated the citizens’ decision by upholding the victory of Tinubu.
He stated that the APC members across Nigeria and Tinubu worked hard for the victory in the election, urging the opposition parties to support the president to deliver the real dividends of democracy to Nigerians through the ‘Renewed Hope agenda’ of the incumbent administration.

Governor Sanwo-Olu said: “What we are witnessing today is the beauty of democracy and the rule of law. We had an election in February this year where over eight million Nigerians voted to elect Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“We ordinarily thought that the losers should have displayed good spirit of sportsmanship by congratulating the winner (President Tinubu) but they chose to contest the election results, which is within their rights. Now that election and the results have been upheld by the court, I hope they will do the needful.
“I congratulate the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu on his well-deserved victory at the Presidential Election Tribunal Court.
“I also congratulate the leadership and members of our great party, the All Progressives Congress, and all Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora on this very landmark judicial victory.”
