 The Independent National Electoral Commission has announced that the certificate of return will be presented to President-elect Bola Tinubu and Vice President-elect Kashim Shettima on Wednesday.

Prime9jaOnline reports that the electoral umpire declared the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Tinubu, as the President-elect during the early hours of Wednesday.

Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, was declared president-elect after receiving 8,794,726 votes in the 2023 presidential election.

Professor Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of INEC, announced Tinubu as the winner at the International Collation Centre in Abuja.

Declaring Tinubu as the winner, the INEC boss said, “That Tinubu Bola Ahmed of the APC, having satisfied the requirements of the law is hereby declared the winner and returned elected.”

Tinubu won the election ahead of other contenders — the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Atiku Abubakar; the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi; and the New Nigeria Peoples Party candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

After announcing Tinubu as the winner, Yakubu explained that the commission would be presenting the certificate of return to Tinubu and Shettima at the International Collation Centre in Abuja.

The move, he said, would allow the commission to have ample time to adequately plan for the governorship election billed for March 11.

He said though Tinubu and Shettima would be getting their CoR, senators and House of Representatives members-elect would have to wait a bit.

Yakubu said the commission would issue a statement later today on when the ceremony for senators and House of Representatives members-elect would hold.
