President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in his hometown Daura, Katsina State, received president-elect, Bola Tinubu and his vice, Kashim Shettima.

Their visit to Duara came after they received their certificates of return from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) following their victory at the poll.

A statement issued by Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity) said there were jubilant scenes at the home of the President when the President-elect and the Vice President-elect Senator Kashim Shettima arrived with each of them brandishing their certificates of return.

According to the statement, apparently overcome with a lot of emotions, seeing the “phenomenal election result,” President Buhari kept repeating, “My Good Lord, My Good Lord,” “Fantastic.”

“We are very lucky,” the President uttered as he warmly clasped the hand of the President-elect, “there were no problems. No blood shed, no accidents. We have God Almighty to thank for this.”

He said he was pleased that the people chose the APC and its candidates, affirming through this, their desire that the momentum of development under the administration continues.

The President commended the Party supporters and the Presidential Campaign Council for the “historic win,” which he said would never have been possible without discipline, commitment and hard work.

Tinubu in an interview, said that as a loyal party man, he came to present the certificate to the President as the party leader and to commend him for his efforts to support democracy in Africa.

“This is the largest democracy in Africa. We could not have done any better. We are lucky, there is no accident and no matter how provocative a defeat is, we have to tolerate it if we are democrats. We have a nation to build,” he said.
