ACCEPTANCE SPEECH BY PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, ON HIS NOMINATION AS APC PRESIDENTIAL FLAGBEARER FOR THE 2027 ELECTION DELIVERED ON SUNDAY, MAY 24, 2026, AT THE BOLA AHMED TINUBU INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CENTRE, ABUJA
Protocol:
Today, we celebrate another proud moment in our democratic journey—a history not defined by any individual, but by our collective resolve to build a stable, prosperous, and just nation.
Four years ago, I stood before you as an aspirant to the highest office in our country, seeking your mandate alongside many distinguished compatriots and fellow aspirants, driven by conviction and patriotism. I recall with gratitude how I sat that night at Eagle Square, beside my friend, ally, and predecessor, President Muhammadu Buhari, of blessed memory. With your support, I emerged as our party’s candidate and, months later, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Today, I return as your incumbent President—humbled by your enduring support, encouraged by your continued confidence, and imbued with renewed passion for the tasks ahead.
