Road Transport Association of Nigeria, RTEAN, has congratulated the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Vice President-elect, Kashim Shettima on their election victory.
The association also commended President Muhammadu Buhari and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the smooth conduct of the just concluded 2023 Presidential and National Assembly Elections, describing the voting process as good and well arranged, adding that the deployment of technology has made the elections different from previous ones.
This was contained in a statement signed by deputy national president of Administration Ambassador Muhammed Abubakar Bishara and made available to newsmen in Abuja.
He said Dr. Musa Muhammad Maitakobi commended the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and other security agencies deployed in the 2023 general elections for their commitment to ensuring a secured electioneering and for exhibiting neutrality during the presidential and National Assembly (NASS) elections in the country.
He said reports from different parts of the country indicated that the Armed forces of Nigeria had kept to its promise and indeed not only was apolitical, but collaborated with other security agencies.
The RTEAN national president, on behalf of the national executive, zonal coordinators and state coordinators congratulate Tinubu on his election as president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He expressed the optimism that the emergence of Tinubu as president-elect of Nigeria would usher in progress and development in the country as he had done in Lagos State from 1999 to 2007 where he demonstrated a consistent fidelity to progressive and welfarist ideals, and an ability to build bridges across several divides.
He also congratulated Senator Kashim Shettima on his declaration as Vice President-Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The RTEAN boss urges candidates in the various parties in the just concluded presidential and National Assembly (NASS) elections to accept the outcome of the election in good faith, and pointed out that there is the need for both the contestants and their supporters to keep their minds open and be ready to take whatever be the outcome of the presidential and National Assembly polls.
