National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday commended the withdrawal of the forgery charges against Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu by the Federal Government.

In a statement issued in Abuja, Tinubu said the dismissal of the case against the two principal officers of the National Assembly will allow the legislative chamber focus on its work.

“New legislation will be required to help pull the nation out of the economic mire.

“With these forgery charges found not to apply, it is good that they be dismissed so that the national assembly may focus on this important work ahead, ” Tinubu said.

Tinubu, however said this is not the time for those involved to celebrate.

He said all is not well with the country, stating that work must start immediately.

“While those involved may understandably feel a sense of relief or vindication, this is no time for them to celebrate or to believe all is well with the nation simply because all has turned out well for them on this matter,” said Tinubu.

“All is not well. Throughout the nation, the people stagger and groan under the weight of economic hardship. This government and our party must hear and respond to their plea. We must lead the way.”

He advise that those involved should dedicate themselves to the greatness of Nigeria, since they already won the legal battle.

“May those who are the beneficiaries of this legal outcome now rededicate yourselves to fulfilling the progressive tenets of the APC and to honoring the promises we made to the people with regard to their governance and well being.

“Now that you have overcome this legal battle, you must dedicate yourselves to helping Nigeria win the greater war against poverty, despair and failure.”
