"Their judgment was informed and supreme. The choice they made is the choice they can live with. We salute them. We salute their free and fair decision.
“We accept the victory of our presidential candidate and the party with humility and gratitude to the Almighty God and the entire people of this great nation."
Adamu also gave kudos to the electoral umpire, INEC, security agencies, observers and other stakeholders for their various roles in the presidential elections.
He, however, said Tinubu's victory does not belong to him and the party alone but to the taxpayers, the old, the young and every stratum of Nigerian society.
The APC chairman added:
“The victory does not belong to the president-elect and his political party alone. It also belongs to that poor woman who, against all odds and the current financial problems, still sacrificed her time and her little financial resource to go to her polling unit to cast her vote because she wants to have a say in who governs her and her country.
