The spokesperson to President Bola Tinubu, Ajuri Ngelale said his principal is not worried ahead of Wednesday’s Presidential Election Petition Tribunal judgment.
Ngelale, said this on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday, monitored by OSUN DEFENDER.
“He (Tinubu) is not worried simply because he knows he won the election,” he said.
According to Ngelale, the President sees no need to threaten judicial officers, saying that the judiciary is in the best position to make independent decisions based on the merits of the case before it.
“The President sees no need to threaten judicial officers. He sees no need to raise speculations against the integrity of judicial officers; he believes in the sanctity and integrity of the Nigerian judicial system, and he believes the great men and women on the panel will make their decisions based only on the facts before them.
“He will continue to ensure that no matter what the outcome of the judgment is, he does his part and ensure that our institutions continue to be respected, not just by him, but all actors,” Ngelale added.
Tinubu’s election is being challenged by Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as well as the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
Atiku, a former Vice President, came second in the keenly contested poll; while Obi, an ex-governor of Anambra State, came third.
