The president-elect, Bola Tinubu, assured Nigerians on Wednesday that he would be the chief servant and serve Nigeria with all he’s got.
This is as he also appealed to opposition parties and his challengers to join him in his mission to achieve the desired country.
“Let’s collaborate and work together.” “I promise to work with you,” Tinubu said while giving his acceptance speech in Abuja.
At the event were his vice president-elect, Kashim Shettima, the All Progressives Congress National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, and APC governors, among others.
Speaking further, the former Lagos State governor commended Nigerians, particularly those who voted for opposition parties, saying their move helped deepen democracy in Nigeria.
DailyNews24 reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission, during the early hours of Wednesday, declared Tinubu, who was the APC presidential candidate during Saturday’s election, as the president-elect.
Tinubu was declared the president-elect after the 70-year-old polled 8,794,726 votes to win the 2023 presidential election.
The INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, announced Tinubu as the winner at the International Collation Centre in Abuja.
Tinubu won the election ahead of other contenders: the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Atiku Abubakar; the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi; and the New Nigeria Peoples Party candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
