The incoming Nigerian President is yet to react to this post. On 1 March 2023, INEC declared Tinubu the winner of the 2023 presidential election.
He was declared president-elect after he polled 8,794,726 votes to defeat his opponents. His runner-up Atiku Abubakar of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) polled 6,984,520 votes.
