Tinubu would change Nigeria’s fortune for good – Sanwo-Olu
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos state, says he believes that president-elect Bola Tinubu would change Nigeria’s fortune for good.
In his congratulatory message, Sanwo-Olu said Tinubu “had worked tirelessly in the past two decades to deepen democracy in Nigeria, building bridges across the length and breadth of the country.”
He added that Tinubu’s “genuine investment in human and national development” gave him the national spread in the vote counts.
“Asiwaju’s decades of political activism and democratic struggle are well understood by the people. They, in return, have built their trust in him as a true democrat and a man to work with for Nigeria to continue on the path of unity, economic growth and development.’’
‘‘I congratulate my leader, mentor and president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on this historic achievement. Beyond that, I am confident that you will, in no time, turn around the fortunes of Nigeria. ”
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday morning declared Tinubu the winner of the keenly-contested presidential poll. Atiku scored the majority votes to defeat veteran president contestant Abubakar Atiku, and third-force candidate Peter Obi, among other candidates.
