Bola Tinubu has congratulated winners of local and legislative elections held across the Federal Capital Territory, Kano State, and Rivers State, urging them to serve with humility and treat their mandates as a public trust.
In a statement issued by his spokesman Bayo Onanuga, the president praised voters, security agencies, and the Independent National Electoral Commission for what he described as peaceful polls. He said credible elections strengthen democratic institutions and called on the commission to keep improving its processes.
Tinubu also commended Nyesom Wike for projects in the territory, which he said helped the All Progressives Congress secure victories in several councils. The ruling party won chairmanship polls in Abuja Municipal Area, Kwali, and Bwari.
However, the Peoples Democratic Party won in Gwagwalada, where its candidate Mohammed Kasim polled 22,165 votes to defeat APC rival Yahaya Shehu, who secured 17,788.
By-elections also took place in state constituencies in Kano and Rivers. Tinubu praised all contestants for their discipline and said strong competition improves democracy. He urged winners to focus on service and national interest as they take office.
