Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his 72nd birthday, describing him as a courageous, audacious, and passionate leader who is committed to the progress, growth, and development of Nigeria.
Governor Sanwo-Olu said this in a statement issued by his Special Adviser (SA), Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, saying that President Tinubu was worth celebrating for his contribution to national development.
Sanwo-Olu noted that the president had, since he assumed office on May 29, 2023, demonstrated unparalleled patriotism, integrity, honesty, and courage in the task of steering the ship of Nigeria in the right direction, saying that he had provided honest and transparent leadership in Nigeria by taking bold decisions to address challenges militating against the prosperity of Nigeria and Nigerians.
The governor further described President Tinubu as a visionary and master strategist whose democratic credentials were scholarly materials for study in political economy.
“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.
“President Tinubu’s financial wizardry and economic intellect, which he put to good use as the Governor of Lagos State, have taken our dear state to a greater height. Today, Lagos is the pride of Nigeria, occupying an enviable position as the fifth-largest economy in Africa.
“President Tinubu has made positive impact in the country through the Renewed Hope Agenda of his administration. His unblemished service and track record of impressive achievements in public office have made him a role model for many Nigerians,” the governor said.
He prayed that God would grant Tinubu more prosperous years in good health and wisdom as he continued to serve the country.
“As President Tinubu celebrates his 72nd birthday, it is our prayer that God will grant him more prosperous years in good health and wisdom as he continues to serve our dear nation,” Sanwo-Olu prayed.
