Peter Obi lauds Ruto’s court victory
The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has lauded the victory of Kenyan President-Elect, William Ruto, at the Supreme Court, adding that it brings lessons of hope and courage to Nigerians.
Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State, disclosed this while congratulating Ruto over the affirmation of his victory by the Supreme Court as the winner of the presidential election held last month.
Periscope Nigeria reports that Ruto was declared the winner of the just concluded presidential election in the East African country.
But Raila Odinga, Ruto’s rival, rejected the results alleging irregularities and went to court to contest the result.
However, the Kenyan Supreme Court, in its unanimous judgement, dismissed the petition against Ruto’s electoral victory.
