Kalu said that the ruling of the tribunal only affirmed the peoples verdict and further lent credence to the legitimacy of Tinubu’s election.

The Deputy Speaker commended the thoroughness and the sense of professionalism displayed by the Justice Haruna Tsammani led five man panel in interpreting the law and dispensing justice.

According to Kalu, Tinubu’s victory as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after the February presidential election was never in doubt.

He commended the President for staying focused on governance despite the obvious attempts by his opponents to distract him through litigations from the onerous task of fixing the country.

Kalu also commended Tinubu’s opponents in the election for deepening democracy by their actions that further tested the nation’s constitution and the electoral laws.

He also commended them for not resorting to violence or other extra judicial means after the polls but elected to pursue their grievances through the court.

He advised them to key into the Renewed Hope agenda of the current administration, urging them to put an end to the legal voyage and join hands with the president and all well-meaning Nigerians across all political divides to move the country forward.
