Tinubu said that the tribunal's ruling vindicated President Buhari's character and salvaged Nigeria's democracy, The Nation reports.

The APC leader said: “Whatever partisan side one might take, all must agree that Thursday, was a bright day for the administration of justice.

"The Court of Appeal rendered a comprehensive judgment of extraordinary thoroughness, reason and breadth on the many issues presented in this important matter."

Insisting that the president did not use federal might to intimidate Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democracy Party (PDP), Tinubu said that the opposition "put forth some imaginative, if desperate, arguments as was their right" but lost in the end.
