President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the winners of the by-elections held on Saturday, August 16, across 16 constituencies in 12 states.
Recall that the All Progressives Congress secured victory in 12 of those constituencies, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Speaking via a press statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu announced that APC won in 12 constituencies, the All Progressives Grand Alliance won in two, the Peoples Democratic Party won in one, and the New Nigeria Peoples Party won in one.
According to him, INEC deserves praise for conducting violence-free elections, and the newly appointed APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, must be celebrated for steering the party towards its first major triumph under his leadership.
BAT also hailed the APC governors and other leaders on the success of the by-elections, stressing that the Renewed Hope slogan is not a mere slogan.
Tinubu concluded by saying that he’ll keep doing everything within his power to guarantee a better, safer and more prosperous Nigeria.
“Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda has shown leadership capacity and demonstrated what is achievable when popular candidates are fielded and with unity of purpose among party leaders.
To all APC faithful and the electorate, thank you for the confidence reposed in our party. Be assured that our Renewed Hope slogan is not a mere slogan. Our destination is a better, more secure and prosperous Nigeria. We shall take you there, by the Grace of God.
President Tinubu commends all the political parties and candidates who participated in the election and enjoins them to continue to be guided by the spirit of sportsmanship, fair contest and magnanimity, which are enablers of enduring democracy,” he added.
