Contrary to an earlier position that he was not bothered by the proceedings at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, President Muhammadu Buhari confessed on Friday he was under tension while th
e tribunal delivered its judgment on Wednesday.
Coincidentally, the tribunal sat and delivered its judgment the same day, which went in Buhari’s favour. “It lasted about the same time with the judgment. I thank God for that because I think I would have gone into trauma or something. So, I was busy trying to concentrate on the memos. The first memo was on the budget and it took more than five hours. So, while you were doing your thing for nine hours, we were doing ours for about seven hours here. It is a very interesting coincidence and I thank God for it because I would have been in trauma or something of that sort.
The confession by Buhari on Friday might indicate that the earlier statement by the media office did not originate from the President or that he knew nothing about it. Like he did on Wednesday and Thursday, Oshiomhole again repeated before the President that nobody in the APC harboured any fears about the certainty of victory.
“We never had doubts that you won your votes. All the issues raised by our opponents were trashed out one after the order by the Justices that sat on the panel.”
