PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU'S CONGRATULATORY SPEECH TO PRESIDECT ELECT, BOLA AHMED TINUBU
Senator Bola Ahmbed Tinubu and Presiden
I congratulate His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his victory. Elected by the people, he
is the best person for the job. I shall now work with him and his team to ensure an orderly handover of power.
The election was Africa’s largest democratic exercise. In a region that has undergone backsliding and military coups in recent years, this election demonstrates democracy’s continued
relevance and capability to deliver for the people it serves Within Nigeria.
However, none of the issues registered represent a challenge to the freeness and fairness of the elections.
I know some politicians and candidates may not agree with this view. That too is fine. If any candidate believes they can prove the
fraud they claim is committed against them, then bring forward the evidence.
If they cannot, then we must conclude that the election was indeed the people’s will – no matter how hard that may be for the losers to accept. If they feel the need to
challenge, please take it to the courts, not to the streets.
However, to do the latter means they are not doing it in the interest of the people, but rather to inflame, to put people in harm’s way and all for personal, selfish gains.
After a degree of polarization that necessarily accompanies any election, it is now time to come together and act responsibly. I call on all candidates to remember the peace
pledge they signed just days before the election. Do not undermine the credibility of INEC. Let us now move forward as one. The people have spoken.
