Tinubu was declared winner of the February 25 Presidential election by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.
The former Governor of Lagos State defeated Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP); Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP); Rabiu Kwakwanso of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP); alongside Presidential candidates of other Political Parties, to emerge Nigeria’s President-elect.
Tinubu said: “I deeply appreciate the congratulatory messages that have come in from friends and well-wishers from home and abroad. The messages of goodwill and solidarity have been so overwhelming for me to mention you all by name.
“I am particularly grateful to many world leaders from our African neighbours, our friends in The Commonwealth, and from the other parts of the world who welcomed my election with heartwarming messages.
“This a good time to believe in the Nigerian dream; a good time to believe in our renewed hope. The Nigerian eagle shall fly high.”
