Reacting to the outcome of the Tribunal in a statement made available to newsmen, Governor Abiodun congratulated President Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima on their resounding victory.

According to him, the tribunal’s verdict was an affirmation of the trust reposed in the President by Nigerians, as evidenced in the outcome of the presidential election.

“It is heartwarming that the tribunal judges did not succumb to intimidation by the opposition, who deployed various antics to sway the judgement in their favour.

“The judgement is a further testament to the fact that the judiciary is the last hope of our people,” he said.
