He praised President Muhammadu Buhari for his role in ensuring the smooth administration and conduct of the presidential elections. The incumbent leader, according to Tinubu, is a humble and kind man.
Tinubu claims that he never intended to win the primary election, but that it occurred.
When asked about Osinbajo, Tinubu praised the nation’s number two citizen as a good supportive pillar to President Buhari. Osinbajo was one of Tinubu’s top presidential aspirants.

Tinubu stated that he bears no ill will toward those who refused to resign for him. He also thanked the aspirants who stood down in support of his presidential bid.
Some Nigerians, on the other hand, resorted to social media to share their feelings about the acceptance speech.
