Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s triumph has been applauded by Governor Nasir El Rufai as a reward for the resilience of the Nigerian people, whose votes made it all possible.

The governor of Kaduna state said in a congratulatory statement that he personally signed on Wednesday that the victory “is a much-deserved triumph, reflecting the connection between dedicated effort and reward.”

According to El-Rufai, Tinubu’s success at the polls came amidst the most onerous circumstances for the candidates of a ruling party, adding that it ‘’ underlines the scale of the hard work put in by the APC and its supporters.”

According to the governor, the APC “has a duty to reciprocate this faith by providing meaningful administration that delivers progressive outcomes for all Nigerians.”

“I have no doubt that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu grasps the import of this victory and will lead Nigeria’s forward march with renewed hope. He knows he has our staunch support in bringing Nigerians together and uniting the country in common endeavours for progress, peace and prosperity,’’ he added.

El-Rufai who said that he is proud of the contributions of Kaduna State to this monumental triumph that the APC has accomplished noted that ‘’in this titanic struggle, we sadly lost many of our National Assembly seats.’’

The statement however noted that as “regrettable as that is, APC members are still victors.”

“APC members in Kaduna State, our supporters and the entire people of Kaduna state have just partaken in a festival of democracy that has demonstrated our status as people of honour.

“Our region as a whole has shown that we value national unity, that we honour agreements and dutifully discharge the obligations that such entail.”
