A group, Northern Nigerian Movement for Asiwaju, has described the victory of Bola Tinubu as President-elect as second to none.
It said the emergence of Tinubu was part of the work done by the Plateau State Governor and Director General, Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Organisation, Simon Lalong.
It further disclosed against all oppositions, Lalong was able to stand strong despite losing his senatorial bid.
The group disclosed this through a statement, on Sunday, by its National Coordinator, Dr Mohammed Attahiru, in Abuja.
Attahiru expressed assurance and hope that Lalong deserves commendation for his sacrifices and commitments to Tinubu’s presidency.
While congratulating Tinubu on his victory, Attahiru disclosed the victory of Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election showed that the President-elect remains the preferred choice of Nigerians.
He said the emergence of Tinubu as Nigeria’s next President at this auspicious period implies the dawn of renewed hope, prosperity and rapid transformation for the country.
“As governor of Lagos State, we could all attest to the sterling performance of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu which saw a rapid transformation in all facets of the state.
“It is our sincere belief that when Tinubu assumes office as the next president, he will replicate the same transformation across the country for the benefit of all”, he said.
He also expressed optimism that Tinubu’s administration will also address the issues of insecurity, separatist agitations, banditry and kidnapping, among other issues facing the country.
