Many are still giving their opinions on the electoral process and Ooni has joined in. In a viral video, the King noted that the results of the election are very humbling. He further stated that the people who did not vote for Tinubu were more than those who voted and that it takes wisdom to understand what that means.
He noted: “The people who didn’t vote for Tinubu are more than the people who voted for him and yet he was announced as the president of Nigeria” See post below;
The Paystack founder, who sparked outrage over a wedding outfit took to Twitter to voice his opinion. Ezra stated that people cannot keep saying that Tinubu built Lagos. He opined that “Lagos was always going to stand out” as a former capital and major port city. He said linking Lagos’ greatness to Tinubu is “celebrating mediocrity.” Ezra wrote: “tinubu built lagos” = celebrating mediocrity. its status as a former capital and major port city means lagos was always going to stand out. its leaders failed to efficiently leverage the resources at their disposal to make it truly excellent and chose to hold it, hostage, instead. “ See post below; 
The US government has released a press statement congratulating the president-elect Bola Tinubu after he was declared winner of the 2023 elections. After congratulating Tinubu, the US government urged INEC to correct every error in the election results ahead of the Gubernatorial elections slated on March 11. The statement reads; We understand that many Nigerians and some of the parties have expressed frustration about the manner in which the process was conducted and the shortcomings of technical elements that were used for the first time in a presidential election cycle. Nigerians are clearly within their rights to have such concerns and should have high expectations for their electoral processes. We join other international observers in urging INEC to improve in the areas that need the most attention ahead of the March 11 gubernatorial elections. There are well-established mechanisms in place for the adjudication of electoral disputes, and we encourage any candidate or party seeking to challenge the outcome to pursue redress through those mechanisms. We call on all parties, candidates, and supporters to refrain from violence or inflammatory rhetoric at this critical time. We commend the active participation of civil society and the media in advancing electoral norms and political discourse on issues of importance to citizens. We note with concern reports that numerous members of the media were attacked during the course of the election, and we urge the government, security forces, political actors, and all citizens to respect the media’s critical role by refraining from any damaging acts against them and ensuring accountability for such acts when they do occur. We also congratulate the Nigerian people, especially the large number of youths who are relatively new to the political process, for demonstrating their strong commitment to democracy.”
