He disclosed this during an interview shortly after casting his vote at Ikeja Ward 3, Polling Unit 085, Kafi Street, Ikeja Local Government Area of Lagos State.

The APC chieftain said he had attended several meetings, reached out to different interest groups across the country to ensure he secured a favourable support ahead of today’s election.

“I am very confident i can win this election,” he said.

When asked if he was willing to accept defeat, and work with other political parties, if he possibly lost the poll, he simply responded he had worked hard, transversing different parts of the country.

“I moved across the 36 states. I worked hard for it. I attended City Hall meetings, town hall meetings, to meet various interest groups.

“I have attended to their requests. And I have worked harder than any other candidate in this election.”

Tinubu is one of the four major presidential candidates contesting for the presidential seat. Others are Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), Rabiu Kwakwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), the former Vice President, and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo.

Meanwhile, many have criticised Tinubu for indicating interest as a presidential candidate, despite his health condition and old age. But, the former Lagos state governor insisted he has the right to vote and be voted for.

The ICIR had earlier observed late commencement of voting exercise due to arrival of the INEC officials and election materials.

However, Tinubu cast his vote at about 10:30am.
