“I’m grateful to the Nigerian judiciary –especially the Supreme Court, I’m grateful to the government of President Bola Tinubu, who believe in good governance –allowing the rule of law to persist irrespective of the lies and mischievous acts that have been perpetrated against me.
“I’m grateful to the vice president and all our colleagues at the federal level. No amount of mischief will bring us down,” he said.
