President Tinubu and the APC, according to Morka, won the February 25 presidential election without an iota of doubt, and there is no reason why the party or the president would engage in a side conversation with the CJN on a matter that was already pending before the PEPC.

The ruling APC then expressed the confidence that Nigerians are smarter and more discerning than to be dissuaded by the opposition's tasteless and crass mercenary journey.
