“All these four great leaders have congratulated the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and given him great homilies/advice. The Sultan of Sokoto said only God almighty and all-knowing gives leadership to whom He likes, and in Nigeria, He has given leadership to Tinubu.

“May God give the President-elect and his Vice President-elect long life, good health, guidance, blessings and successful tenure in office,” he stated.
