My fellow Nigerians,

I am profoundly humbled that you have elected me to serve as the 16th president of our beloved republic. This is a shining moment in the life of any man and affirmation of our democratic existence. From my heart, I say thank you.

Whether you are Batified, Atikulated, Obidient, Kwankwasiyya, or have any other political affiliation, you voted for a better, more hopeful nation and I thank you for your participation and dedication to our democracy.

You decided to place your trust in the democratic vision of a Nigeria founded on shared prosperity and one nurtured by the ideals of unity, justice, peace and tolerance. Renewed hope has dawned in Nigeria.

We commend INEC for running a free and fair election. The lapses that did occur were relatively few in number and were immaterial to the final outcome. With each cycle of elections, we steadily perfect this process so vital to our democratic life.

Today, Nigeria stands tall as the giant of Africa. It shines even brighter as the continent’s biggest democracy.

I thank all who supported my campaign. From President Buhari who adeptly led my campaign as its chairman, to my Vice Presidential Candidate, Senator Kashim Shettima.

To the progressive governors of our party and this nation, to the party leadership, to our loyal party members. I owe you a debt of gratitude. To the entire campaign organization, I thank you sincerely.

I thank my loving wife and dear family whose support was ceaseless and inspiring. Without you, this victory would not be possible.

I am grateful to Almighty God. By His mercy, I was born a son of Nigeria and through His sublime purpose I find myself the victor of this election. May He grant me the wisdom and courage to lead the nation to the greatness He alone has destined for it.

Finally, I thank the Nigerian people for their abiding belief in our democracy. I shall be a fair leader to all Nigerians. I will be in tune with your aspirations, charge up your energies and harness your talents to deliver a nation that we can be proud of.

To my fellow candidates, former VP Atiku, former governor Kwankwaso, former governor Obi and all others, I extend the hand of friendship. This was a competitive, high-spirited campaign.

You have my utmost respect.

Political competition must now give way to political conciliation and inclusive governance. During the election, you may have been my opponent but you were never my enemy. In my heart, you are my brothers.

Still, I know some candidates will be hard put to accept the election results. It is your right to seek legal recourse. What is neither right nor defensible is for anybody to resort to violence. Any challenge to the electoral outcome should be made in a court of law, and not in the streets.

I also ask my supporters to let peace reign and tensions fade. We ran a principled, peaceful and progressive campaign. The aftermath of our campaign must be as benign.

Yes, there are divisions amongst us that should not exist. Many people are uncertain, angry and hurt; I reach out to every one of you. Let the better aspects of our humanity step forward at this fateful moment. Let us begin to heal and bring calm to our nation.

Now, to you, the young people of this country, I hear you loud and clear. I understand your pains, your yearnings for good governance, a functional economy and a safe nation that protects you and your future.

I am aware that for many of you Nigeria has become a place of abiding challenges limiting your ability to see a bright future for yourselves.

Remodeling our precious national home requires the harmonious efforts of all of us, especially the youth. Working together, we shall move this nation as never before.

My running mate, Vice President-elect Shettima, and I understand the challenges ahead. More importantly, we also understand and deeply value the talent and innate goodness of you, the Nigerian people. We pledge to listen and to do the difficult things, the big deeds, that put us on the path of irreversible progress. Hold us firmly to account, but please give us a chance first.

Together, we shall build a brighter and more productive society for today, tomorrow and for years to come.

Today, you have given me the greatest honor you can bestow on one man.

In return, I will give you my utmost as your next president and commander-in-chief. Peace, unity and prosperity shall be the cornerstones of the society we intend to build. When you gaze upon what we shall accomplish in the coming years, you shall speak with pride at being a Nigerian.

I thank you all.

God bless you all.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

It wasnt.

You mean he said all these things without reading paper?
Tinubu clearly isn't dumb as obedients want us to believe

Thank you Mr president, whether stolen or merited, we will support you, in my street I'm only a batified person the rest is Obi even thh I'm Igbo. What matters now is for us to scale the hardship to prosperous life., thank you once again Mr president.

Congratulations Mr president

I believe he will deliver the best administration ever, no doubt about that!!

Let’s embrace our obidients and atikulates, it is a victory for all.
Dear jagabans, we have won and it is time to leave behind the fights and work together. This is not time to insult others that didn’t vote for Tinubu or engage in heated arguments, it is not easy to lose so let’s understand they won’t be happy.
As for Obi, he is a winner too, he fought hard and won hard. He achieved the impossible
Atiku, the unrelenting fighter, he is a winner too

Without this people, there won’t have been democracy. They gave Tinubu a run for his money, they chased him till the last line. They made the game more competitive and interesting and we will miss the whole saga.

Thank you everyone

GOD BLESS THE GREAT AWO OF OUR TIME!!!

ODUN MEJO LO MA LO GBOGBO AYE LO TI GBO 🎵🎵

He helped unseat a King

He helped install a King

He Became a King

The Kingmaker who made himself a King to serve his people

May Tinubu's terms be peaceful and prosperous for my family, friends and I


.

Congratulations jagaban

Fraud

Obi is still coming even APC knows this

Obi failure is cuming in your mother and grandmother womb

I may not have supported him but to be fair he is by far a better leader, more intelligent, and more brilliant compared to Buhari. In fact he is miles ahead


Only a very stupid president will create division in his own country by saying that some people will not be treated the same way as others, and Nigerians can be happy because Tinubu is not stupid

Why accept a stolen mandate when you know it will be retrieved from you?

For those that will call me Igbo;I am an Edo guy.

Ok

God bless you mr president

hmmmm

You did great indeed u are jagaban

Booked

Who gives a $hit.....

Tinubu has not been sworn in he has already scammed Nigerians.

He said if he wins they will continue to use their old notes.

But he did not even mention the old notes in his speech.

Since Tinubu got the position through criminal means, don't expect sincerity from him.

Jagaban himself

Personally I am not one of those who are joyful over this man's victory becasue I doubt his capacity to lead, however, I hope his government favors I and my family.

Apc Christians una go suffer mk una watch out for the muslim nd Muslim u help in bringing out now worry things will change from now.

Congratulations once again, His Excellency.
May Nigerians never know a better yesterday under your tenure.

All the MoD on Nairaland did me wicked because of my support for Jagaban...I dey Kampe...

This is the reason for living...Martins Luther King jr says, " If you don't have a reason for living then you are fit to live" I have always been a one-man army and different contrary views and opinions don't move me...I always master my thought and channel my energy to what I stand for...your popular opinion will not daunt my position....

And let me say this...though I'm not a prophet but by voracious reading I can predict....i predict so many things that happened in Lagos election figures because I saw it coming...and there are so many things that I can post on the public forum like this....However, If Obi is waiting for the court to declare him winner. He will wait for another four to eight years ...then he could have clocked 70 years of age...."Ancient"
