Bola Tinubu promised on Thursday to address the nation’s problems, including electricity and security difficulties.
President Muhammadu Buhari gave Tinubu the transition report, and he made a commitment not to let Nigerians down.
He made this statement soon after receiving the Grand Commander of the Federal Republic, the nation’s highest honour, from the President, alongside Vice President-elect Kashim Shettima, who received the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger.
The investiture ceremony was part of the schedule of events for the 2023 Presidential Inauguration Ceremony that was scheduled for Monday at the State House Conference Centre of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Tinubu claimed to be aware of the honour bestowed upon him and his vice president-elect as well as the magnitude of the work ahead.
Regardless of whether Buhari retires to Daura or the Niger Republic, he pleaded with Buhari to respond to “knocks” at his doors.
“I am a simple man who is the beneficiary of the support and goodwill of the people of Nigeria. The people have put their trust in us. You have done your part, Mr. President.
“Now, that great duty descends on me. I understand the meaning of the honour given to me today and of the task that awaits.
“I must run this race and must do it well. On security, the economy, agriculture, jobs, education, health, and power, and in all other sectors, we must make headway. The people deserve no less. In this, I shall disappoint neither them nor you, Mr. President.’’
