President Bola Tinubu’s spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, asserted that his boss is unconcerned about the potential outcome of the presidential election tribunal.

This was said by Ngelale during a Channels Television interview on Monday. He claims that Tinubu does not see the need to threaten judges in relation to the election petition.

The tribunal has set a deadline of September 6 for it to rule on the petitions contesting Tinubu’s election victory on February 25.

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) all challenged the outcome. According to Ngelale, Tinubu is confident that the panel will provide a decision based on the evidence provided.

He added that the president “sees no need to threaten judicial officers,” in contrast to other political gladiators in the nation.

He believes it is unnecessary to cast doubt on the impartiality of judges. He respects and believes in the integrity and sanctity of the Nigerian legal system.

“He feels that the mandate that Nigerians freely gave to him during the elections would stand because of his confidence and faith in the judiciary. The President holds the position.

“He will continue to make sure that, regardless of the judgment’s outcome, he plays a role in maintaining respect for our institutions among all actors, not just himself.

Because he is confident that he won the election, he is not worried. Information is on our side, and we think we have made the strongest case possible,” he said.
