Presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga, has reacted to the announcement made by the Supreme Court regarding the dispute on the 2023 presidential election.
Naija News earlier reported that the apex court fixed Thursday, October 26, to deliver final judgements in petitions filed by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and his counterpart in the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
The Supreme Court’s Director of the Press and Information, Dr Awemeri Festus Akande, on Wednesday, confirmed the date for the ruling on the petitions.
Akande said adequate security arrangements have been put in place to prevent security breaches both within and outside the court premises.
The PDP and LP presidential candidates are challenging the declaration of President Bola Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 presidential election.
Reacting to the announcement in a post titled “Day of Judgment Tomorrow” via his verified X handle, Onanuga said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is hopeful of victory in tomorrow’s judgment.
The presidential aide stated that the APC is hopeful that the apex court will affirm the sanctity of the 8.9m votes of Nigerians that gave President Tinubu victory last February.
He wrote: “Day of Judgment Tomorrow.
“The Supreme Court will give its verdict tomorrow in the appeals filed by the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi; the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
“They are challenging the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, President Bola Tinubu in the 25 February election.
