By Saddam Yusuf Saleh

Former governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, has said he did not congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari on his victory at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

Okay.ng reports that the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal dismissed the petition filed by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate at the 2019 elections, Atiku Abubakar, and upheld the election of Muhammadu Buhari.

Fayose, reacting to the outcome stated that Nigerians should disregard any congratulatory message issued in his name because his party had decided to appeal the judgement.

“Nigerians should disregard any congratulatory message issued in my name on the outcome of the Presidential Election Judgment. My party has indicated its intention to appeal the judgment, and as a party man and believer in the PDP/ATIKU 2019 project, I can’t author such statement,” he said.
