In a goodwill message by the majority leader, he described Tinubu as a “timeless doyen of democracy and an astute mentor of many leaders, who devoted his life to pursuing the greatest goods to the greatest number of people”.The majority leader expressed confidence that the current administration will steadily paddle the ship of our nation to the coast of endless ecstasy.
He added that only within 10 months of Tinubu’s ascendancy to the presidency, Nigerians have started witnessing the dawning of economic restoration and the ray of political renaissance under his watch.“Today, I celebrate a timeless doyen of democracy and an astute mentor of many leaders, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. By global standards, Asiwaju is truly a man of the people and the visionary of our times, who devoted his life to pursuing the greatest goods to the greatest number of people.
“I also celebrate how Asiwaju teamed up with the progressives to establish the National Democratic Coalition, a movement of likeminds and progressives that fiercely challenged the regime of the late tyrant, General Sani Abacha; mobilised support for the restoration of democracy to our fatherland and campaigned for the recognition of Chief M.K.O Abiola as the winner of the June 12 presidential election. And this conviction and pursuit eventually earned him exile from the land of his birth.
“At 72, as the President of Nigeria, Asiwaju has brought rare conviction and passion to the business of public governance, courageously daring the forces of regression and tirelessly pursuing the interests of over 227 million regardless of their faith, ideology and race. The task is truly daunting, but the victory is undoubted.
