The Presidency, has rated the February 25 presidential election, which produced the candidate of the ruling APC, Bola Tinubu, as president-elect, as the best the country had seen in recent times despite all the controversies that have trailed the exercise.
Many foreign and local observers have reported that the conduct of the election failed to meet the expectations of Nigeria and that INEC failed to follow the Electoral Act and even its own guidelines in the conduct of the poll.
However, Presidential spokesperson, Mallam Garba Shehu, in a release, declared that the APC victory in the presidential election, underscored by the nationwide wave of support in the National Assembly results, was a clear mandate for the party to retain power for another term of four years.
