Bola Tinubu, president-elect, says he is committed to
rebuilding the country and renewing the “hope of the Nigerian people”.
In a message to Nigerians on his 71st birthday on Wednesday,
Tinubu said the greatest birthday gift he has ever received is the chance to
lead the country.
In February, the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) declared the former governor of Lagos as the winner of the presidential
election after polling 8,794,726 votes.
Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had the
second-highest figure with 6,984,520 votes, while Peter Obi of the Labour Party
(LP) was next with 6,101,533 votes.
The president-elect said his promises were not mere words to
win over citizens but a bond with them.
“With such a privilege already granted to me, I will not go
so far as to suggest I am due any birthday presents this year. I have already
been given the greatest gift,” he said.
“A chance to lead and fulfill destiny. An opportunity to
champion your aspirations and to bring about the Nigeria of your dreams.
“I will, instead, use
this day as an opportunity to reiterate my commitment to the great and
important task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the hope of the Nigerian
people. I campaigned hard and made important promises.
“Those promises were not mere words; professed glibly or
cynically to win support. They represent a bond that binds me to the task of
creating a better Nigeria for the benefit of every Nigerian, whether you voted
for me or not.”

ReplyDeleteYou can carry all the money Nigeria has within the time your satanic reign will last but Nigeria will under your presidency be a country without a leader because you stole another candidate mandate. As per how it ends, you will live to see it.God is not asleep.
ReplyDeleteTo have a man with no clear records as president is just unbelievable but very much Nigerian.
