The outgoing British High Commissioner in Nigeria, Catriona Laing, described the 2023 Presidential and National Assembly elections as fascinating and offered future assuredness for democratic governance in the country.
The polls, which were conducted on Saturday, February 25, 2023, had the candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as the winner.
Tinubu, a former Lagos State governor, was declared the winner of Saturday’s election with 8.8 million votes and the required number of ballots across two-thirds of Nigeria’s states. However, the British envoy made the declaration at the Senate wing of the National Assembly on Tuesday while fielding questions from journalists after a courtesy call on the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, said despite contestation on the process of the election by some political actors; it was fascinating and portends bright future for the country.
