Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria’s President-elect, is now in Daura, Katsina State, meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Tinubu arrived in Lagos late Wednesday night, only hours after the Independent National Electoral Commission issued him with a Certificate of Return (INEC).
According to our source, the meeting with the president is most likely motivated by a desire to thank the outgoing President for his assistance during the election campaign.
Recall that President Buhari freely presented his ballot papers when voting on Saturday at polling unit 003, Sarkin Yara Ward A, Daura Local Government Area, demonstrating that he did not betray his party.
Tinubu was accompanied on the visit to Daura to meet with the President by the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Abdullahi Adamu, Governors of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-rufai, Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu, Ebonyi, Dave Umahi, Zamfara, Bello Muhammad, amongst others.
Tinubu was declared the President elect in the early hours of Wednesday by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) having defeated Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.
