‘If anybody has won today it is the democracy and the people,’ adding ‘ with the verdict of the Supreme Court, the election period is over and it is time to put the heat and dust behind us.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘From here, the new APC administration led by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu should get the support of everyone in order to deliver the promises it made to the people.’<\/span><\/p>\n
