Sanwo-Olu Celebrates Tinubu At 72, Says President Courageous Leader

Lagos State governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated President Bola Tinubu on his 72nd birthday, describing him as a courageous, audacious and passionate leader who is committed to the progress, growth and development of the nation.

The governor in a statement by his special adviser, Media and Publicity, Mr Gboyega Akosile said President Tinubu is worth celebrating for his contribution to national development.

He noted that the president, since he assumed office in May last, has demonstrated unparalleled patriotism, integrity, honesty, and courage in the task of steering the ship of Nigeria in the right direction.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, said President Tinubu has provided honest and transparent leadership in Nigeria by taking bold decisions to address challenges militating against the prosperity of Nigeria and Nigerians.

He further described the President as a visionary and master strategist whose democratic credentials are scholarly materials for study in political economy in the statement issued on Thursday.

He said: “On behalf of my family, the government, the people of Lagos State, members of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), leaders, and members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, I congratulate our leader, President Bola Tinubu, on the occasion of his 72nd birthday.

“President Tinubu has sacrificed the greater part of his life in the service of our dear State and Nigeria. He contributed to the enthronement of democracy and good governance, serving first as a Senator in the aborted third republic and later as a pro-democracy activist, working tirelessly as a member of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) to struggle for the de-annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.’’
