President Bola Tinubu has told his aides that their jobs are secure.

The nation’s number one citizen said this while responding to the affirmation of his victory by the Supreme Court.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Tinubu, who contested under the All Progressives Congress (APC) as winner of the election, but his opponents headed for the court.

The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal had struck out the suits of Peter Obi of Labour Party and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for lack of merit.

Reacting to the unanimous decision of the seven-member panel, some aides of the president rushed into his office to congratulate him.

The president, who was attending to some files on his table, paused and said, “Thank you very much!”, adding, “Your jobs are secure”.
