Speaking on the Politics Today program, Ngelale stated, “He (Tinubu) is not worried simply because he knows he won the election.”

He expressed the President’s faith in the integrity of the Nigerian judicial system and the competence of the judges involved in the case.
“The President sees no need to threaten judicial officers. He sees no need to cast doubts on the integrity of judicial officers; he believes in the sanctity and integrity of the Nigerian judicial system, and he trusts that the distinguished men and women on the panel will make their decisions solely based on the facts presented before them,” Ngelale remarked.
He further reiterated the President’s commitment to upholding the respect and integrity of Nigeria’s institutions, regardless of the judgment’s outcome.
