Nigeria’s President –elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won the election with 8.7 million votes to defeat his closest rivals, Atiku Abubakar of the main opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party(PDP) who polled 6.9 million and Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party who polled 6.1 million votes.

The congratulatory messages were deluge. Leading the pack was Nigeria’s former masters, the United Kingdom, who through its Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, sent the message even as it called on the Nigerian authorities to address the concerns of the opposition over the organisation of the election, which was marred by technical challenges as alluded to by international observers and civil society organisations.

James Cleverly said: “The United Kingdom commends Nigerian voters for their participation in the Presidential and National Assembly elections and for their patience and resilience in exercising their democratic rights. We congratulate the President Elect, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“We note the position of opposition parties on the election outcome and the concerns expressed by observer missions and civil society about the organisation of the process, including delays and technical challenges.
