Last Saturday, Nigerians across the country filed out to elect the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd)’s successor.
During the early hours of Wednesday, the Independent National Electoral Commission declared the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, as the president-elect.
Tinubu, a former Lagos State governor, was declared the president-elect after the 70-year-old polled 8,794,726 votes to win the 2023 presidential election.
The INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, announced Tinubu as the winner at the International Collation Centre in Abuja.
