Sen. John Owan-Enoh, Minister of Sports Development, has called for more focus on governance, following President Bola Tinubu’s victory at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) on Wednesday.
Owan-Enoh made the call in a statement issued by Kola Daniel, media aide to the minister, on Thursday in Abuja.
The minister congratulated President Tinubu over his victory at the PEPT, which he said once again confirmed the president as the winner of the Feb. 25 Presidential Election.
Owan-Enoh stated that he had no doubt Tinubu was going to emerge victorious from the ruling of the tribunal, reiterating that the president was the choice of the people.
He added that the president was the best man for the job, and enjoined all Nigerians to support his renewed hope mandate, as he continued on his mandate to bring development to Nigeria.
“I join millions of well-meaning Nigerians to congratulate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his victory at the tribunal.
“It represents a win for Nigeria and a victory for democracy, as the yearnings and aspirations of our people have been upheld by the judgement delivered,” he said.
Owan-Enoh called on Nigerians to join hands with the present administration to move the nation forward, especially after the verdict of the tribunal.
“I call on all individuals to join hands and work for the betterment of our country, as this is the only country we have.
“It’s our collective responsibility to move the country out of the doldrums to greater prosperity. Now that the verdicts have been made, all focus should be on governance,” he added.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the PEPT on Wednesday in Abuja dismissed the arguments brought before it by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party(LP), the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), alongside their presidential candidates.
The judgement confirmed Bola Tinubu as the duly elected president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
