President Bola Tinubu made his first appearance at the All Progressive Congress (APC) National Executive Council meeting since taking office on Thursday, and he deemed the election that put him in office as the most credible in Nigerian history.
Despite ongoing legal disputes in the courts contesting the procedure, Tinubu stated he is still firmly convinced.
He said: “Yes, we are facing challenges in court, but I think this is the most credible election in Nigeria. So, we must congratulate ourselves. As a democrat, those who cannot accept the results of a free and fair election do not deserve the joy of victory.”

Speaking on the party’s operations, Tinubu said the organization has a duty to foster cohesion, stability, and love among its members. Abdullahi Ganduje, a former governor of Kano, is the party’s chairman.
Being elected to office, in his words, is a chance to “fulfill your dreams and the dreams of our founding fathers.”
The President also acknowledged the necessity to address governance concerns head-on.
“We are taking it head-on; we must oil the wheel, grease it, and we are. I have submitted ministerial lists to Senate for screening and approval. We are in the process of fully establishing the government of the people, for the people, and by the people.
“I can see a number of my friends here, and you have not been able to see me. It is what you all fought for to bring me here. We have governance issues, and you will not see me as often as you want to,” he stated.

He continued, stating that the difficulties Nigeria is facing were well covered in his program.
He declared that his government is prepared to restructure the nation’s economic system and added, “Our policies are for the people, not to punish the people.”
Tinubu also digressed a little into the international political scene. He said: “I sent messages to Europe and America yesterday. To our partners, I ask, How can you handle a barking dog, a mad dog, and prevent a barking dog from eating from the plate of your enemy? We are hungry, and the continent depends on Nigeria. We need help, but not at the expense of our joy, peace, and happiness.”
He cautioned the party’s leaders about the need for a united front, stressing that the party was in their hands.
