The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has presented the Certificate of Return to the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu at a well-attended ceremony in Abuja
The President-elect arrived the Africa Hall of the International conference centre at exactly 3.27 pm.
Security men at the main entrance into the International Conference Centre had a challenge controlling the crowd of supporters who besieged the place to witness the presentation.
At around 3.10 pm when it became obvious that they may not gain access, they forced the door leading into the African Hall venue of the presentation.
Many of them refused to use the seats provided at the gallery, insisting on entering the main hall to be part of the programme.
Those who witnessed the presentation were Senate President Ahmad Lawan; Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege; Ondo Governor Rotimi Akeredolu; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha and members of the National Assembly.
National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress(APC) Senator Abdullahi Adamu; Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila; Deputy Speaker Ahmed Idris Wase and former Chairman of the (EFCC) Mallam Nuhu Ribadu
After collecting his certificate of return, Asiwaju Tinubu went for a worm embrace with Vice President Prof Yomi Osibanjo while Vice President-elect Senator Kashim Shettima was also presented with his certificate of return by the INEC Chairman.
