President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has expressed hope that the Supreme Court will affirm the president’s victory in the February 25 presidential election.
Onanuga made the remark in reaction to the Supreme Court’s announced date to give its verdict on the appeals filed by presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, and Labour Party, LP’s Peter Obi.
Atiku and Obi had filed appeals before the apex court challenging Tinubu’s victory in the last presidential election.

Reacting, Onanuga posted on X: “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.
“We in the APC are hopeful for victory. We are hopeful that the apex court will affirm the sanctity of the 8.9m votes of Nigerians that gave President Tinubu victory last February.”
