I’ll work day and night for youths: Tinubu
President-elect, Bola Tinubu, says he will work round the clock to make Nigeria a better country for young citizens.
The former Lagos governor made this statement when he was presented the certificate of return by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday.
“To you, the people, especially the youths, I will work day and night. I will work to the utmost of my ability to make Nigeria better,” Mr Tinubu said.
Earlier on Wednesday, Mr Tinubu was declared the winner of Saturday’s presidential election by the chairman of INEC, Mahmood Yakubu.
Mr Tinubu polled 8,794,726 votes to defeat PDP’s Atiku Abubakar, winning 12 of 36 states in Nigeria.
Mr Abubakar polled 6,984,520 votes, while Peter Obi of the Labour Party, came third, polling 6,101,533 votes.
The declaration of Mr Tinubu as the president-elect came amidst massive protests by PDP and Labour Party, who have continued to call for the suspension of result collation and outright cancellation of the presidential poll due to INEC’s failure to upload election results on its server in real-time.
