Senator Adamu praised the voters for choosing Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the President-elect, emphasizing that he was the clear choice of the people because he had exceeded the constitutional requirements by getting more than 25% of the vote in 33 states of the federation.
In his speech, which was titled “Triumph of Democracy,” Adamu also lauded President Muhammadu Buhari for the peaceful conduct of the elections, as he delivered on his promise to provide a level playing field for all political parties and their candidates.
The senator expressed his gratitude to the Almighty God and the entire people of Nigeria, including the security agencies, INEC officials, NYSC, and many other Nigerians who played essential roles in the elections.
Senator Adamu was clear that the victory did not come from just one person but from the collective efforts of many individuals and organizations, including the members of the party and its leaders, who had to deal with sabotage from both inside and outside the party.
He also commended the chairman and members of INEC for their commitment to free, fair, transparent, and credible elections, despite facing sabotage, with INEC offices torched in several states and its personnel similarly attacked. Senator Adamu emphasized that the victory belonged to all Nigerians who collectively showed a determination to birth a new national leadership.
In his speech, Senator Adamu condemned the unwarranted attempts of the PDP and the Labour Party to sabotage the elections, throw the country into chaos and crisis, and impugn the integrity of the electoral umpire. He called for all patriotic citizens of the country who value peace and unity of purpose to rise with one voice to condemn such actions.
Several members of the APC National Working Committee (NWC) were in attendance at the briefing.
