The All Progressives Congress (APC) says it dictated the victory of Bola Tinubu to NIgerians.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, stated this in Abuja while congratulating Tinubu and the Vice-President-elect, Kashim Shettima, on their electoral victory.
Tinubu polled a total of 8,794,726 votes to emerge the winner of the 25 February presidential election.
He defeated Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who polled 6,984,520 votes and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) who pulled 6,101,533 votes at the election.
Morka thanked Nigerians for their overwhelming support for the APC candidate, noting that the election was vigorously contested like no other in the country’s democratic history.
“Our country and democracy are richer and stronger together in this strident onward march into a more vibrant future of opportunities, wholesome and transformative development.
“To the leader of our party, President Muhammadu Buhari, we deeply appreciate your remarkable accomplishments in office that provided a formidable springboard for our president-elect to run a victorious race.
“We remain thankful for your intrepid and steady leadership of our party.
“Your unparalleled programme of electoral and democratic reform provided the atmosphere conducive to the successful conduct of this year’s presidential election,’’ he stated.
