Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has reacted to the victory of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.<\/p>\n

Osinbajo, who was said to have shown no interest in Tinubu\u2019s campaign, wrote to congratulate Tinubu, who the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, declared winner of the 2023 Presidential Election.<\/p>\n

INEC, Mahmood Yakubu on Wednesday morning said that Tinubu polled a total of 8,794,726 to defeat Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP who scored 6,984, 520 and 6,101,533, respectively.<\/p>\n

Tinubu also fulfilled the 25 percent votes from 24 States as stipulated in the Electoral Act 2022 (as amended), and so was declared winner of the highly contested polls.<\/p>\n

Osinbajo\u2019s letter to Tinubu, made available to journalists in Abuja by his senior special adviser on media, Laolu Akande, said, \u201cI warmly congratulate the flagbearer of our great party, the All Progressives Congress, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his victory at the 2023 Presidential Elections, and his declaration as President-Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also congratulate His Excellency, Senator Kashim Shettima on his declaration as Vice President-Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing the President-Elect, the VP stated that \u201cin your previous years of public service, you have demonstrated a consistent fidelity to progressive and welfarist ideals, and an ability to build bridges across several divides.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese attributes are needed especially at this time, to reach out to disaffected sections of our society and to meet the aspirational expectations of our young people who have shown such a strong desire to impact our democratic process in a positive way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI trust that they will not allow whatever setbacks they may have experienced to truncate their strong desire to determine the future course of our national journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough thick and thin, we must all remain focused on the objective of birthing the Nigeria of our dreams.<\/p>\n

\u201cI pray that Almighty God will help you to fulfil the progressive mandate of our Party, as well as your various plans to improve the security, welfare and happiness of all Nigerians.\u201d<\/p>\n
