When presenting the final result, the INEC Chairman said that Tinubu and the APC also satisfied the constitutional requirement.

Yakubu said the certificate of return (CoR) would be issued to Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima by 3pm on Wednesday.

The three leading presidential candidates won in 12 states, while Kwankwaso could only win Kano State.

According to the results collated by the INEC, Tinubu emerged as the winner of last Saturday’s presidential election.

Votes announced from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and collated at the National Collation Centre, Abuja, indicated that Tinubu led his closest challenger, Atiku Abubakar (PDP), with about 1.8 million votes.

Atiku polled 6,984,290 votes to emerge second, while Peter Obi (LP), was third with 6,093,962 votes.

Tinubu lost Lagos, a state considered his home-front and Osun State to Obi and Atiku, respectively.

He, however, won in Oyo (449, 884 votes); Ondo (369,924); Ekiti (201,494) and Ogun (341,554) to emerge victorious p in the South-West.

Tinubu also won in seven northern states, including Kwara (263,572); Jigawa (421,390); Zamfara (298,396); Borno (252,282); Benue (310,468); Kogi (240,751) and Niger (375,183).

The APC presidential candidate also emerged victorious in Rivers State by polling 231,591 votes.

Atiku, on the other hand, also won in seven states in the North- Kaduna (554,360 votes); Sokoto (288,679); Adamawa (417,611); Gombe (319,123); Yobe (198,567); Katsina (489,045) and Taraba (189,017).

The PDP presidential candidate won one state in the South-West- Osun (354,366) and two states in the South-South- Bayelsa (68,818) and Akwa Ibom (214,012).

Peter Obi pulled the biggest upset, defeating Tinubu in his home state of Lagos State, where he received 582,664 votes.

He also took many by surprise as he won in Abuja after polling 281,717 votes; Nasarawa State (191,361 votes); and Plateau State (466,272 votes).

In the South-South, the Labour Party presidential candidate defeated his APC and PDP counterparts in Cross River (179,917), Delta (341,866) and Edo (331,163).
