Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the president-elect, has congratulated Ahmadu Fintiri, the governor-elect of Adamawa State, and Nasir Idris, the governor-elect of Kebbi State, on their successes at the Saturday supplementary elections.
Tinubu also celebrated legislators who won in the just concluded polls in some parts of the country.
Last Saturday, supplementary elections were held by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in 2,660 polling units across 185 local government areas in 24 states.
Among them were the gubernatorial polls in Adamawa and Kebbi states.
The President-elect, in a statement on Wednesday, said the winners of the Senate, House of Representatives and State Houses of Assembly reruns had earned the trust of their people.
He urged the politicians to rededicate themselves to the service of their constituents, saying the “largely peaceful” election demonstrated citizens’ acceptance of democratic norms and unwavering faith in the electoral process.
Commenting on the controversy that characterized the Adamawa governorship rerun, which saw the All Progressives Congress candidate, Senator Aishatu ‘Binani’ Dahiru, declared the winner while collation was still ongoing, Tinubu urged “police authorities to fully investigate all that transpired in the election given the attendant controversy.”
