Strategies Tinubu used to win Nigeria Presidential Election


As Nigeria outgoing president Buhari would have it, "the best person for the job," a perfect description that befits newly elected Nigeria president Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Tinubu was announced as Nigeria president elect by INEC after winning in the just concluded Nigeria presidential elections.

Opposition Parties have disputed the election results and termed the exercise as shambolic.

Who won Nigeria Presidential Election

Independent Nigeria Election Commission (INEC) chairman Mahmoud Yakubu declared Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Party (APP) as winner.

The winner was announced on Wednesday at 04:00am.

The timing of the announcement has raised international eyebrows on whether the elections were free and fair.

As results started trickling in, Nigeria police cautioned citizens against incitement.

Tinubu on his part has called for tolerance and appealed for unity.

People's Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP) and ADC demanded the resignation of INEC Chairman and allow someone else to conduct a fresh presidential election.

In Nigeria's presidential election, Tinubu scored 36% of the total votes cast. He was trailed by Atiku Abubakar 29%, Peter Obi 25% and other candidates sharing 2% of the votes.

Tinubu becomes the fifth president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria since the end of the military rule.

How Tinubu won Nigeria's 2023 presidential election

Bola Tinubu banked on his experience as a two-term Lagos governor to win the presidential elections.

The 70-year politician appeared frail in his presentation, but the good work he had done in Lagos propelled him to the most powerful office of the land.

As a governor of Lagos, Tinubu was able to: reduce violent crime in Lagos, curtail City traffic jam and made the city cleaner than he had found it.
