“I hold no grudges and grievances. Let us work together to defeat PDP. They had 16 years, they depleted our resources, and they left us with hunger. They are the agent of poverty, terror, and lying.”

He said, “Those who didn’t support me have nothing to fear. I hold no grudges. Let us all work together.”

He subsequently apologised to President Muhammadu Buhari for keeping him waiting, saying, “Please forgive me for taking you this long. I didn’t expect to win but I won. Today is the only day I can punish you.”

Recall that Tinubu cliched the APC presidential ticket for the 2023 general election after polling 1,271 votes to defeat 13 other aspirants at the end of the Special National Convention of the party on Wednesday in Abuja.

The race began with 23 aspirants but nine withdrew shortly before the commencement of voting at the convention.
