A Niger Delta Leader, Chief Idowu Asonja has described the Supreme Court judgment validating the election of President Bola Tinubu as the necessary tonic for the President to turn things around in the country.
He declared that “Nigeria will surely work under President Tinubu.”
Asonja said the way the Supreme Court Justices handled the matter and trashed out all the issues raised by the petitioners showed that the judiciary remained the pillar on which democracy will continue to rest.
In a statement on Saturday, Asonja, who is the Ondo State Commandant of Tantita Security, an outfit securing and maintaining the nation’s oil lines, congratulated the President for scaling what he described as the last hurdle to the authentication of his electoral victory.
He said, “Nigerians know who they elected as their president and now that their voice at the polls has been validated by the Supreme Court, it time to face issues bordering on the well-being of the people and I am confident that President Tinubu will restore the hope of Nigerians.”
While also commending the petitioners, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi for chosing the law court instead of instigating violence, the security expert said, “Now that all the processes of the election has been concluded, it is time to join hands with the President and work for Nigeria and its people.”
He assured that on the part of the Tantita Security Services, peace will continue to be sustained in the Niger Delta Region with the country’s main source of income well secured.
Asonja, who called on the youths and the people of the Niger Delta region to embrace peace and development, assured that, “going forward, Tantita would continue to explore all humanitarian options to enhance development of the coastal area.”
