“We understand the suffering of the country. You don’t need additional distractions to be able to concentrate on building a new economy for the people. And inclusive one for that matter.
“The judgement of the Supreme Court put a stop to shenanigans, put a stop to innuendos, put a stop to trials in the media and public space.”
Tinubu further praised the apex court, saying it “demonstrated indivisible commitment to rule of law and humanity”.
He also said the Supreme Court was committed to “do justice for all Nigerians regardless of ethnic, religious or any other biases”.
