Oshiomhole Applauds Supreme Court Verdict on President Tinubu’s Victory
The Senator representing Edo North, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has expressed his joy and enthusiastic approval of the Supreme Court’s decision, which affirmed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s victory in the presidential election held on February 25, 2023.
In a statement released to the press, Senator Oshiomhole commended the esteemed judges of the Supreme Court for their courageous, meticulous, and judicious handling of all the issues raised in the petitions brought before them for final adjudication. He stated that the judgment has decisively resolved any doubts, both within and outside the country, regarding the legitimacy of INEC’s declaration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the rightful winner of the presidential election. Oshiomhole urged all presidential candidates who had pursued legal action to now rally their supporters, both at home and abroad, in support of President Tinubu and his government, enabling the nation to progress.
According to the former governor of Edo State, “There is no doubt that President Tinubu has Nigeria’s best interests at heart. He possesses the capacity, experience, will, and courage to implement policies and take actions that will restore Nigeria to its former greatness. Now that the Supreme Court has affirmed his victory, it is incumbent upon all Nigerians, regardless of their political affiliations, to set aside any contrary hopes they may have had for the February 25 election, and embrace the reality of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s presidency, for the love and well-being of our country peoples”
He offered his prayers that God would endow the president with continuous good health, greater wisdom and the courage to make decisions that will lead Nigeria to its deserved greatness.

Disu explained that the directive was backed by Force Order 237, which empowers police officers to respond immediately to armed threats without waiting for approval from superior officers.
The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has directed police officers across the country to shoot on sight anyone found carrying illegal firearms, as part of intensified efforts to curb insecurity.
Disu issued the directive on Friday during a stakeholders’ meeting at the Government House in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, saying the move followed President Bola Tinubu’s instruction that the lingering security crisis in the state must be brought to an end.
The police chief maintained that only authorised security personnel are legally permitted to carry firearms, warning that law enforcement agencies would no longer tolerate the unlawful possession of weapons.
” You cannot move around freely carrying arms as if there is no law and order in this country. It will not be tolerated,” he said.
