The former governor, in a statement by his media aide, Habib Aruna, said the ruling by the tribunal further strengthen the mandate handed to President at the poll.
According to him, this is a validation of the second term mandate handed to President Buhari to continue the strides of development and take Nigeria to the next level.
“I join millions of Nigerians, the leadership of our great party and all members of our party across the nation to congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari on this well-deserved victory at the Tribunal. This victory is a validation of the confidence in the President’s re-election and a testament to the fact that the people are happy with the progress made by his administration and are keen to see four more years of progressive governance,” he added.
He urged all supporters of the party and Nigerians, in general, to rally round President Buhari in his quest to return Nigeria to the path of greatness and respectability.
