He noted that the tribunal's verdict will play a significant role in determining the nation's fate.

While lamenting the current economic hardship in the country, the youth leader said President Tinubu has proved to be a novice in leadership and governance.

His words:

“The presidential election petition tribunal has concluded its hearing, and justice remains the fulcrum of which human civilization revolves.
“Justice grants legitimacy to leadership and governance. Without justice, public affairs shall rot in crime. Our justice system remains the point of last hope, after which the fate of our great nation shall either be good or in vain.
“As the nation awaits its fate and legitimacy pronouncement, let us all be in the hope that the fate of our great nation is not doomed. Heaven will not fall if the election is nullified. Therefore, we call on the Tribunal to grant the ultimate justice by declaring the presidential candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, as the legitimate winner of the 2023 presidential election”.
