The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari ( retd.), has congratulated the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his victory as the president-elect.

This was disclosed in a statement released by Buhari’s media aid, Bashir Ahmed, via his Twitter handle on Wednesday morning.

Tinubu polled 8,794,726 votes to win the 2023 presidential election.

Part of the statement reads, “I congratulate His Excellency 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, the results reveal democracy’s ripening in our country. Never has the electoral map shifted so drastically in one cycle. In the presidential elections, states in all regions across the nation changed colour.

Some amongst you may have noticed my home state amongst them. The winning candidate did not carry his own home state either. That happens during a competitive election.

“Votes and those that cast them cannot be taken for granted. Each must be earned. Competition is good for our democracy. There is no doubt the people’s decision has been rendered in the results we look at today.”
