Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the president-elect of Nigeria, compared the certificate of return that INEC gave him to a “World Cup” trophy when visiting the palace of Rilwan Akinolu, the Oba of Lagos.
With a total of 8,794,726 votes, Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), defeated Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), who received 6,984,520 and 6,101,533 votes, respectively, as the winner of the presidential election held on February 25.
Tinubu guaranteed the monarchy that he would keep his word to the people of Nigeria.
“To all the monarchies seated, may God provide you with strong health for you. God will not allow our country to perish. We will not be used as a tool to disgr@ce you. I will not let you down,” he said. “The journey that we embarked upon and we have returned home with a certificate – it is like our own World Cup – and I thank you all for the effort,” Tinubu stated.
