Benue State Governor Rev FrHyacinth Alia has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, over the reaffirmation of their victory at the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
Alia, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Kula Tersoo, described the verdict of the Supreme Court as sound and succinct, saying that the judgment is a revalidation of the sacred mandate freely given to the President and his Vice, during the February 25th, 2023 presidential polls.
He said as the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court of Nigeria has demonstrated sound legal and jurisprudential reasoning without any doubt that it is the last hope of the common man, as it has ensured that the will of the people of the country is not thwarted and power usurped through the back door.
He said the Judgment was victory for democracy and victory for the majority of the Nigerian masses who voted the president into office.
He called on Nigerians and Benue people to continue to keep faith with the current APC led administration in the country, saying now that the distractions of the court processes are over, the Tinubu led government will concentrate more on delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda to the entire people of Nigeria as outlined in its blueprint.
