The incoming president of Nigeria, Bola Tunubu, on Sunday, promised to serve the country diligently after receiving a sizable crowd of party members and supporters at the presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Ikeja.
Tinubu also visited the Iga-Iduganran palace of Rilwanu Akiolu, the Oba of Lagos, where the ruler and other traditional leaders were waiting.
This was according to a statement by the president elect’s media advisor, Tunde Rahman, on Sunday.
According to Rahman, while addressing the people assembled within the palace, Tinubu promised that he would not let them down.
The statement also revealed that Tinubu was welcomed by the governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the chief of staff, Tayo Ayinde, the former deputy governor of Lagos, Femi Pedro, senator Musiliu Obanikoro, the former commissioner for the environment in Lagos, Muiz Banire, and the state’s female leader, Jumoke Okoya-Thomas, at the airport earlier.
While speaking,Oba Akiolu referred to him as a unique breed “who is destined for leadership at the very top.”
The king of the Ikate-Elegushi Kingdom, Oba Saheed Elegushi, and the Oniru of Iruland, Oba Omogbolahan Lawal, were also among the other traditional leaders present at the palace.
Tinubu therefore praised God and the people for helping him win, as he compared the difficult and unpredictable primary and election process to a World Cup match.
