Tinubu’s Tribunal Victory, Win For Democracy, Vindication Of INEC – AYCF 

The president, Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), Alh Yerima Shettima has described the victory of President Bola Tinubu at the election tribunal as a win for democracy and vindication of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and its efforts towards ensuring free, fair and transparent elections in Nigeria.

AYCF said the ruling has once again put detractors and senseless regional agitators to shame and has also proven the integrity and impartiality of INEC and its chairman, Prof Mahmud Yakubu.

“This well-considered verdict has further strengthened the belief that INEC under Yakubu’s leadership is a true embodiment of democracy and justice.

“Yakubu’s commitment to conducting free, fair and credible elections in Nigeria is evident in the recent elections where many observers, except a few sponsored ones, commended the conduct of INEC and its officials. His leadership and professionalism have earned him the respect of both local and international communities.

“We must commend INEC under the leadership of Prof Mahmud Yakubu for their impeccable conduct during the elections. The transparency and fairness of the electoral process have brought credibility to our democracy.

“This outcome is also a triumph for democracy and the rule of law as it proves that the Nigerian justice system is capable of upholding the integrity of elections,” Shettima said.

He also advocated that all stakeholders continue to work towards improving the electoral process so that Nigerians can continue to have faith in democracy, stressing that, “This landmark ruling has set a precedent for future election disputes and serves as a warning to those who seek to undermine the democratic process.”
