The Asiwaju Group, TAG, has congratulated the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, on the attainment of his 71st birthday, describing him as a people-centric leader.
The TAG Convener, Dr. Mustapha Abdullåhi, who is also the Deputy Chairman, APC UK Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, made the congratulatory remarks in a statement sent to DAILY NIGERIAN on Thursday.
According to Mr Mustapha, the former Lagos State governor is a true democrat who has proven his political philosophy and wizardry over the years.
The Kogi-born politician also described Mr Tinubu as a political juggernaut who has altered Nigeria’s political landscape by emerging winner at the last presidential election against all odds.
While praying for the President-elect, the TAG covener said there was no better time than now in the life of the nation for Mr Tinubu’s emergence.
He said: “Nigeria needs Asiwaju at this critical period to build on already existing milestones of the Buhari-led administration to better the lives of the citizens.”
“We pray for stronger health for him, abundant wisdom as he prepares to take up the challenge of leading a heterogeneous country like Nigeria. May the Almighty grant him the requisite wisdom to delivering an egalitarian Nigeria.”
“Those who believe in your style of people-centric leadership are in the multitude and we believe you will deliver in your electoral promises to Nigerians and that Nigerians will begin to feel a sense of belonging and pride themselves as true Nigerians,” Mr Mustapha averred.
While calling for calm across the country, Mr Mustapha urged all political parties to join hands with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Mr. President-elect to drive the country on the path of prosperity.
He said with the achievements of Tinubu during his time as Lagos State Governor, there is no doubt that Nigeria will be in safe hands when he begins his administration on 29th of May.
Mr Mustapha, therefore, called on every Nigerian to eschew violence and any act capable of throwing the country into avoidable conflagration to embrace peace.
