Nigerians have told Nigeria’s President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to immediately hit the ground running even before he is officially inaugurated on May 29.
Track news recalls that Tinubu, who is the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) defeated his main rivals, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to emerge victorious.
Earlier on Wednesday, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was also presented with a Certificate Of Return as President-elect by Professor Mahmood Yakubu, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
In a chat with Track news on Wednesday in Osogbo, Simon Adereti, a building material distributor stated that whoever won the election was good for him in as much as the person is not from the North.
“My prayer has been answered and finally a man from the South has become president. I just pray he rules with the welfare of the people at the back of his mind,” he said.
Dorcas Ayoola, a trader, stated that what concerns her is that at the end of the day, peace was achieved despite the division created by the election.
“The division was too much. Nigerians were divided along the religious and ethnic lines. If this is what we will be experiencing every four years. Then it is bad.
“These politicians should know that it is a game and for the people, it is a civic exercise. Nobody is forcing us to vote but we see it as a duty we need to undertake for our country to move forward,” she said.
Alexander Omolola, a POS operator, stated that though he had his choice candidate for the presidential election, he nevertheless felt happy that the tension and drama was over.
“These politicians would not set Nigeria on fire. All I want to do now is to resume my business in one piece. I am tired of all these shenanigans
