The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has ridiculed Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP following Bola Tinubu’s victory at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT), News About Nigeria gathered.
Keyamo also charged Tinubu’s opposition to “have some sense” and embrace “this current administration”.
The minister said this in a post on his X account, after the Tribunal’s judgement, noting that the court’s judgement has proved him and others right.
His post reads: “Today, Daniel has come to judgment: whether it is the fake US drug issue or the 25% FCT issue or the issue of IREV, EVERY SINGLE thing some of us have always shouted ourselves hoarse about during the campaigns and post-campaigns have been PROVED ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
“It only reassures some of us to always stand up for what we believe in, even if it appears to be against the temporary tide! Eventually, posterity will always vindicate the just!
“Huge congratulations to @officialABAT for this judicial vindication from all the wicked lies against his person. Now, it is time for them to have some sense and embrace his government and national reconciliation.”
Recall that, the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal On Wednesday struck out the case of Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi, upholding the victory of Tinubu.
The PEPT, which began sitting at 9.40 am at the Court of Appeal, Abuja, ruled that the petition filed by Atiku and Obi and their parties had no merit and unanimously upheld Tinubu’s electoral victory in the February 25 presidential election.
The five-member panel took turns to dismiss the petitions presented by Atiku and Obi against the declaration of Tinubu as the winner of the presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission on March 1, 2023.
The judgment was delivered by the Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Haruna Tsammani, assisted by other members of the panel-Justices Stephen Adah, Monsurat Bolaji-Yusuf, Moses Ugo, and Abba Mohammed.
