Recall that the Apex Court, on Thursday, threw out the appeals of the former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi, and validated Tinubu's victory, thus putting to rest all issues generated before, during and after the 2023 presidential election.
In a statement issued by its publicity secretary, Olawale Sadare, and made available to Legit.ng on Thursday, Oyo APC congratulated President Tinubu and his Vice, Senator Kassim Shettima over a landslide victory at the apex court.
The party appreciated the efforts of the APC's national chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, and others who fought spiritedly at the court to safeguard the wishes and aspirations of the majority of the Nigerian electorate who freely chose the APC candidate at the poll.
"Now that both Abubakar Atiku and Peter Obi have exhausted all options to upturn the popular mandate freely given to President Bola Tinubu by Nigerians, we are urging them and their supporters to come to term with the reality on ground and establish contact with Mr. President for possible collaboration on the success of the Nigerian Project," Oyo APC stated.

"We are concerned about the state of the economy, how it will be revived and ensure the dividend of democracy in Nigeria is maintained."
