I cannot be sad about my result even though I know I could have done better. I'm just happy that I'm able to rejoice about the result."

His X post came after Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board had conducted a resit for the candidates affected by the glitch in its system. In his words:
"It is now clearly obvious that this is the best JAMB result since 2017, that’s since the last 9 years. From the worst result few weeks ago to the best few weeks later. I saw it, I knew it and I was right!"
