Tinubu<\/a> in his acceptance message, also\u00a0 said he understands the pains and yearnings of Nigerian youths, saying with the outcome of Saturday\u2019s Presidential election, he has heard them loud and clear.<\/p>\n\u201cNow, 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cI 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cRemodeling 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\u201d, he said at his Campaign Council headquarters shortly after he was returned duly elected by the Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.<\/p>\n
While he extended a hand of fellowship to his closest rivals in the race, Tinubu however conceded that they have the right to seek redress in the law courts, but advised them never to resort to violence.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolitical competition must now give way to political conciliation and inclusive governance.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the election, you may have been my opponent but you were never my enemy. In my heart, you are my brothers.<\/p>\n
\u201cStill, 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cI 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, 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\u201d, he counselled.<\/p>\n

\u201cTHE ERA OF RENEWED HOPE\u201c
\nBy The President-Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,<\/p>\n
March 1, 2023<\/p>\n
My fellow Nigerians,<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Today, Nigeria stands tall as the giant of Africa. It shines even brighter as the continent\u2019s biggest democracy.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
I thank my loving wife and dear family whose support was ceaseless and inspiring. Without you, this victory would not be possible.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
You have my utmost respect.<\/p>\n
Political competition must now give way to political conciliation and inclusive governance.<\/p>\n
During the election, you may have been my opponent but you were never my enemy. In my heart, you are my brothers.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Together, we shall build a brighter and more productive society for today, tomorrow and for years to come.<\/p>\n
Today, you have given me the greatest honor you can bestow on one man.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
I thank you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
