As Nigerians await the judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Tribuna (PEPT) on the outcome of the February 25, 2023 election, chairman of the Senate Committee on Information, Senator Kenneth Eze, has boasted that “nobody will overturn the election of the present administration” led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Senator Eze therefore urged the leadership and members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State and Nigerians in general to dispel fears that the victory of President Tinubu would be overturned by the PEPT, as rumoured by the opposition.
Peter Obi’s Labour Party (LP) and Atiku Abubakar’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are before the PEPT seeking to nullify the declaration of Tinubu as President.
The Senate Spokesperson told the Ebonyi Central APC executives and other leaders of the party who paid him a courtesy visit to mark the Ezza Ezekuna Ukaku New Yam festival at his country home at Onueke, Ezza South LGA of Ebonyi State: “There is a lot of distraction. The enemies are doing everything to distract us, but we won’t allow them to succeed. APC came on board at a time when things were very difficult.
“People think that the fuel subsidy removal will crash the economy, but to their shock, the economy of the country is boosted, and God willing, in two weeks’ time, the Port-Harcourt refinery will be on stream and the effect of the subsidy removal will be cushioned.
“I can assure you our party, the APC, is doing well, and nobody will overturn the election of the present administration. Some people have been boasting that either Atiku or Obi will take over the government, but I urge you to be strong and don’t be afraid; God is with us.”
