Tinubu: I’wont disappoint Nigerians

The President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has vowed that he would work assiduously for Nigeria, saying he would not disappoint the citizens.

Tinubu likened the primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the February 25, 2023, presidential election he went through to a World Cup tournament, thanking God and Nigerians for his eventual victory.

The President-elect said this during a visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwanu Akiolu, in Lagos on Sunday.

Other traditional rulers at the palace included Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; Elegushi of Ikate-Elegushi, Oba Saheed Elegushi; and Oniru of Iruland, Oba Omogbolahan Lawal.

Also at the palace were former deputy governor of Lagos State, Femi Pedro; ex-Lagos State Commissioner for Environment, Muiz Banire; and Lagos APC Woman Leader, Jumoke Okoya-Thomas; among others.
