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.
