President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has called on his fellow contestants- Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi of the Labour Party, and others to join him in making Nigeria a great nation.
Tinubu in his acceptance speech after he was declared winner of Saturday’s presidential election by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu, reminded other contestants that Nigeria is the only country they could call their own. “I seize this opportunity to appeal to my fellow contestants to let us team up together. This is the only nation we have. It is one country that we must build together. We’ll work together to put broken pieces together. We must work for the unity, happiness, and harmony of Nigeria. “We must not act like that orchestra that has no conductor. We have elected a conductor. Let’s collaborate.
“My standing out here is to thank Nigerians for choosing me to serve as your president. From my heart, I say thank you very much.
“Whether you are BATFIELD, ATIKULATE, OBIDIENT, or KWANKWASIYA, you voted and struggled for a better Nigeria; I thank you for participating in Democracy.
“Renewed hope has landed in Nigeria; I represent that promise, and with your support, that promise will be achieved.
