According to a statement issued by the State House on Sunday, candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won four of the five seats, while the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) secured one.
The APC candidates declared winners were Kallamu MaiJama’a, who won the Gombe/Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency in Gombe State; Husseini Datti, Dawakin Kudu State Constituency in Kano State; Okolosi Ator, Udu State Constituency in Delta State; and Yakubu Ali, Disina State Constituency in Bauchi State.
Adamu Yakubu of the APM won the Sakwa State Constituency seat in Bauchi State.
Tinubu said the results demonstrated what he described as Nigerians’ confidence in the APC’s ability to govern effectively and deliver shared prosperity.
“I am encouraged by the support Nigerians at the grassroots continue to show for our party and for the difficult but necessary reforms our administration has implemented over the past three years,” the president said.
He urged Nigerians to remain committed to the government’s reform programme and not be influenced by what he described as political opportunism.
“The benefits of these reforms will become increasingly evident as we enter the next phase of our programme,” he said.
Tinubu also urged the newly elected lawmakers to justify the confidence placed in them by their constituents through effective representation.
He called on the other candidates to accept the results in good faith and continue contributing to the democratic process.
The president commended voters and security agencies for maintaining peace and order during the polls, while also praising the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting the elections.
He urged the electoral commission to build on what he described as progress recorded during the by-elections and address any shortcomings ahead of future polls, particularly the general elections scheduled for January and February.
