“The two countries have supported each other on issues relating to their core interests and major concerns, and have closely coordinated in international and regional affairs,” President Xi said.
Legal Battle Ahead
Although, Mr. Tinubu has been presented with the Certificate of Return, his oppositions are yet to give up.
Opposition Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar are ready to present their case before the election tribunal.
An appeal court has granted them access to the election materials used to allow them to gather enough evidence for their case.
