A former Senate Leader, Senator Ali Ndume, has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, on the President’s victory on Wednesday at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
The Justice Mohammed Garba who led the five-member panel of the Tribunal had dismissed the petition by the Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in its entirety, saying they failed to prove their case beyond reasonable doubts.
In a statement he personally signed by in Abuja, Ndume said the tribunal verdict vindicated millions of Nigerians who after the elections admonished Atiku not to challenge Buhari’s victory at the poll on the grounds that the Presidential Election was clearly by Buhari.
