The Vice-President, Mr Kashim Shettima, has said that the judgment delivered by the Presidential Election Petition Court is a testimony to the fate Nigerians have in President Bola Tinubu and his administration.
On whether the judgement will retire the PDP’s presidential candidate politically, Vice President Shettima noted “We are not going to retire him to Dubai or Morroco, I will retire him to Fombina, I will buy him goats, broilers and layers so that he can spend his days rearing goats and broilers.”
Shettima asserted while speaking to newsmen shortly after the 5-member panel of justices of the court led by Justice Haruna Tsammani delivered judgment affirming Tinubu’s election as president.
“My principal, President Bola Tinubu is eternally indebted to the Nigerian people and to the leadership of the party who have been here since 9 a.m.
