Addressing his contenders and fellow running mates, Bola Tinubu said he had the utmost respect for them and called on them to join forces with him to build a better Nigeria.

“To my fellow candidates, former VP Atiku, former governor Kwankwaso, former governor Obi and all others, I extend the hand of friendship. This was a competitive, high-spirited campaign.

“You have my utmost respect.
