What wonderful news to return home to, and what a proud moment for Nigeria!
As First Lady Oluremi @SenRemiTinubu and I returned from engagements in Akwa Ibom and Rivers States this evening, I saw her keenly watching the Flamingos’ World Cup final against Japan. What a joy to see our girls defeat Japan 2–1 and become the first African team to lift the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup trophy.
Our young girls have conquered the world, made history and brought immense honour to Nigeria and the African continent.
I followed your remarkable journey throughout the tournament in Morocco, and I remember your promise after the semi-final victory to bring the trophy home. Today, you have kept that promise with courage, discipline and unwavering belief in yourselves.
Your triumph goes far beyond football. Millions of young Nigerian girls will look at what you have achieved and know that they, too, can dream big, compete with the best and reach the pinnacle of their chosen fields.
I congratulate every member of this exceptional team, the coaching crew, the Nigeria Football Federation, the National Sports Commission and everyone who contributed to this historic achievement.
On behalf of the government and people of Nigeria, I salute our world champions. You have written a glorious new chapter in our nation’s sporting history.
Nigeria celebrates you. I celebrate you.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
President, Federal Republic of Nigeria

Join me tomorrow as I join fellow Gubernatorial candidates from other parties for a debate.
I will be discussing my manifesto which is tagged “P.R.O.M.I.S.E. The Lagos Promise was conceived based on the needs of our dear state and people.
As I have always done in principle, I will be engaging in fact based discussions during this debate. No mudslinging, no maligning, no personality attacks and no disrespect. Just facts.

Mississippi’s young people have been a huge part of this campaign from day one. I’ve seen how much they care about their home state and how determined they are to build a better future for it.
I’m grateful to every young Mississippian who believed in us, showed up and made their voices heard. THANK YOU for helping show the country Mississippi Matters!

There is much to celebrate this week, but I want to call specific attention to historic gains Democratic women made in representation:
- For the first time in history, over 100 Democratic women will serve in the U.S. House.
- At least 16 Democratic women will serve in the Senate.
- At least 14 Democratic women will serve as governors, a record high.
- A record of 2,600 Democratic women running for seats in state legislatures helped flip 12 majorities and break 11 supermajorities.
- Four states elected their first woman governor: Georgia, Minnesota, Ohio, and Tennessee.
- @KeishaBottoms will be the first Black woman to serve as a governor.
- @DebHaalandNM will be the first Native American woman to serve as a governor.
- @GinaHinojosaTX will be the first Latina to serve as governor of Texas.
- @peggyflanagan will be the first Native American woman to serve in the Senate.
I am beyond excited to see these extraordinary people and public servants tackle accountability, affordability, and our other challenges to make life better for everyone in this country.
Congratulations to everyone who ran: win or lose, fighting for what's right is always worth it.

I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of support for my campaign as we fight to make sure every lawful ballot is counted.
We saw historic voter turnout in this election across Mississippi and showed the country that Mississippi Matters — in large part due to the support of my day one team who has been with me all along.
My campaign, alongside the DSCC and Elias Law Group, Lisa Ross, and our great team of local attorneys, are leading the effort to ensure every eligible voter is heard and I am confident that when votes are counted, we will flip this seat.
Stay tuned for more updates from our team!
