Bola Ahmed Tinubu promises to unite Nigeria as President-Elect, says APC spokesperson

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the president-elect of Nigeria, has promised to do everything within his power to unify the country, according to Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Tinubu was declared the winner of the presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after he received the highest number of votes during the February 25 poll.

During an interview with Arise Television on Wednesday, Morka stated that Tinubu’s administration would be inclusive, addressing the division in the country with a sense of duty.

Morka further stated that Tinubu’s plan to unite the nation would be demonstrated by the appointments he would make once he assumes office as president, succeeding Muhammadu Buhari.

In the February 25 election, Tinubu received 8,794,726 votes, defeating Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who received 6,984,520 votes.

Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) came in third with 6,101,533 votes, while Rabiu Kwankwaso, the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) candidate, garnered 1,496,687 votes.
