Tinubu stated this on Sunday when he presented the Certificate to the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwanu Akiolu, at his place at Ida Idungaran.
The president-elect, who was accompanied to the palace by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, traditional monarchs, and supporters, promised not to disappoint Nigerians.
“To all the monarchies seated, may God provide you with strong health for you. God will not allow our country to perish. We will not be used as a tool to disgrace you. I will not let you down.
“The journey that we embarked upon and we have returned home with a certificate — it is like our own World Cup — and I thank you all for the effort,” Tinubu said.
On his part, oba of Lagos praised the president-elect as a special breed “who is destined for leadership at the very top”.
Apart from Sanwo-Olu, other dignitaries present at the palace included Femi Pedro, former deputy governor of Lagos; Muiz Banire, former commissioner for environment, and Jumoke Okoya-Thomas, APC Lagos women leader.
Others are Saheed Elegushi, oba of Ikate-Elegushi Kingdom, and Omogbolahan Lawal, oniru of Iruland.
KanyiDaily recalls that last week, the INEC issued the certificate of return to Bola Tinubu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), after declaring him as the winner of the presidential election conducted on February 25.
