President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the winners of the by-elections held on Saturday across 16 constituencies in 12 states.
In a statement issued on Sunday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President praised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for what he described as “hitch-free elections, mostly devoid of violence.”
He called on political parties and their candidates to show sportsmanship and accept the outcome of the polls in good faith.
According to INEC, the All Progressives Congress (APC) won 12 of the constituencies, while the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) secured two. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) won one each.
Tinubu also congratulated the new APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, for leading the party to its first electoral victory under his leadership, and praised APC governors and other stakeholders for their support.
The President assured Nigerians that his administration’s “Renewed Hope” agenda remains a concrete plan to build a more secure and prosperous country.
