President Muhammadu Buhari has
felicitated with the national leader of
the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as he
clocks 64 years on March 29.
The President, according to a
statement by Femi Adesina, his Special
Adviser on Media and Publicity, said
the rising political profile of Mr.
Tinubu since he was elected a Senator
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in
1992 was a testimony to his
forthrightness, diligence and
doggedness.
Mr. Buhari said it was the same
qualities that endeared him to the
electorate and gave him all-round
success as a private sector worker, a
businessman and two-term governor
of Lagos State.
The statement added, “As one of the
pillars of the APC, President Buhari
commends the visionary leadership
style of the Asiwaju of Lagos, who is
also the Jagaban of the Borgu Kingdom
in Niger State, for creating a
formidable opposition party in Nigeria
that worked vigorously within a short
period to oust a party that had been in
power for 16 years.
“The President assures the national
leader that his patriotism and
commitment to democracy and good
governance, and his generous spirit
will always be remembered and
appreciated by generations of
Nigerians.
“He prays that the Almighty God will
grant the Asiwaju long life, good
health, wisdom and prosperity as he
steadfastly supports efforts to promote
the development of Nigeria.”
