Does he live inside? You MUST make sure he's completely dry before you put him back in his house.
Some people dry their piggies with a hairdryer on the lowest setting. Keep the dryer moving and keep your hand between the dryer and your pig to break the airflow and to make sure that you don't accidently burn him.
When bathing my pigs though, I usually let them dry naturally on top of a nice thick towel with another towel over the top of them. You can add a hot water bottle or snugglesafe pad underneath too if you like to make sure they stay nice and toasty and don't catch a chill. After a bit of fussing, my girls usually snuggle down for a snooze whilst they dry off in the warm
Hope that helps a bit

We just towel dry Gizmo pretends he hates it, but enjoys it really.

I bundle mine up in a towel, rub them down gently then use the hairdryer. Some guineas hate the hairdryer, others don't really mind. I find it's harder to get the short haired pigs dry; the long haired pigs seem to dry quicker, and the rex doesn't even need the dryer as the towel does the job on its own!
