Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 presidential election and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has commended and celebrates the judgment of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, which has upheld the rule of law, as well as common sense, and done justice by declaring the PDP as the winner of the gubernatorial elections in Zamfara state as well as state house of assembly elections.
Atiku in a statement by his media adviser, Paul Ibe said: ”Nothing is as pleasing to the ears of believers, as justice being served in the holy month of Ramadan.
”Atiku Abubakar commends the Lord Justices for putting aside the interests of the powerful and upholding the interests of Nigeria and Nigerians. God first, Nigeria second, must be our priority as trustees of the people.
”When justice prevails, the people rejoice, chains are broken, freedom is multiplied and society is enriched.
”Atiku Abubakar is hopeful that the Supreme Court and our Lords Justices will let Lady Justice have full reign in other petitions that will come before them, and that good conscience, fear of God and the rule of law will prevail.
”In so doing, they will write their names for good on the sands of time and avoid the infamy that oppressors wish to thrust on them as their legacy.
”Once again, Atiku Abubakar commends the Supreme Court for siding with justice. He congratulates the Governor-elect Hon. Bello Matawalle and the people of Zamfara, who will finally have a government that will address the issues that have made life an ordeal in that great state. The storm is over and peace and calm are coming to Zamfara.
”May God bless the Supreme Court of Nigeria. May God bless Zamfara state and may God bless Nigeria, now and forever”.
