President Bola Tinubu has pledged to place Nigeria on an “irreversible path of economic expansion and democratic consolidation” if given another four years in office.
Tinubu made the remarks on Sunday during his acceptance speech in Abuja after winning the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary.
The president defeated his only challenger, businessman and APC chieftain Stanley Osifo, polling 10,999,162 votes against Osifo’s 16,503 votes.
The results were announced by the Chairman of the APC Presidential Primaries Election Committee, Senator Pius Anyim.
Speaking after receiving the party’s flag and certificate of return from APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda, Tinubu thanked party members for their support and renewed his commitment to national development.
“In accepting this nomination, I renew my commitment to serve our nation with even greater determination.
“With another four years of discipline, focus and national cooperation, we will firmly place Nigeria on an irreversible path of economic expansion, industrialisation, energy security, infrastructural development, food sovereignty and democratic consolidation,” Tinubu said.
