A former House of Representatives member, Mr Robinson Uwak, on Friday, described the Supreme Court judgment that affirmed President Bola Tinubu’s election as victory for democracy.

Uwak stated this in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja.

According to him, the verdict is victory for democracy, rule of law and order in the country.

He also commended the legal team of Mr President for marshalling out sound legal arguments that eventually won the petitions brought against Tinubu and the Vice President Kashim Shettima.

He said the victory had granted the opportunity to unify the country and advance the country’s progress and the dividends of the “Renewed Hope” agenda.

“With the victory of President Tinubu, Nigerian democracy has been strengthened and made more vibrant for the good of all citizens,” he added.

The ex-lawmaker, therefore, pleaded with Nigerians to be patient with the present administration “because I am confident in President Tinubu’s ability to turn around the fortunes of our nation for good.”

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Uwak represented Oron, Mbo, Okobo, Ure-Offong/Oruko and Udung-Uko Federal Constituency of Akwa Ibom at the 7th Assembly.
