Similarly, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, on behalf of the Federal Executive Council, Wednesday congratulated the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the vice president-elect, Kashim Shettima, on their victory at the just concluded presidential election.

Mustapha said that the FEC noted that Tinubu is a seasoned administrator and technocrat of monumental proportion, an astute politician and a committed party man, whose unrivalled determination is to move the country forward.

“It has the confidence that the incoming administration will build on the legacies of the outgoing administration for a guaranteed, united, peaceful, prosperous and virile nation. 

“In this regard, FEC calls on Nigerians to eschew violence and other negative acts capable of eroding the gains of the present democratic process, while urging aggrieved political parties to employ legal means to seek redress as appropriate,” Mustapha said.

He said that as the chairman of the Presidential Transition Council, he looked forward to working with the incoming administration and its team during the transition period.
