Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC)  polled 131, 725 votes, to defeat her closest rival, Mr Adesunbo Onitiri of  Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who got 89, 107 votes.

The senator promised renewed dedication to youth empowerment and social security for the realisation of a better Nigeria.

“In an overwhelming show of patriotism and loyalty to Nigeria, the people have, through their votes, exercised their power to elect leaders and determine the course of our nation for the next four years.

Nigerians have let it be known that we are willing to put in the work necessary to get Nigeria moving forward.

The good people of Lagos Central Senatorial District have once again elected me to represent them at the Upper Legislative Chamber. I am humbled by the support and confidence reposed in the perspective I bring to the Nigerian Senate.

I am honoured to represent Lagos Central for another four years. Thus, I want to extend my gratitude to my family, members of the Appreciation 2019 Campaign Team and volunteers, who have served, knocking on doors, going from market to market, shaking hands and mobilising the electorate, to exercise their civic rights,” the senator said.

She said it was time to address the critical issues of infrastructure development, accessibility and affordability of education, increased employment, among others.

According to her, the victory of APC in the elections is a victory for our democracy and the protection of our commonwealth.

“ I urge the electorate to come out en masse again on March 9 for the gubernatorial and state houses of assembly elections.

It is time to get to work, consolidating on the foundations we have put in place,” she said.

She also commended INEC and security agencies for ensuring peaceful,  free and  fair Presidential and National Assembly elections. (NAN)
