Buhari congratulates Tinubu at 71

President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated National Leader of All Progressives Congress APC, and President-Elect, Bola Tinubu as he clocks 71, March 29, 2023, saying, history is beckoning to lead the country from May 29 2023.

President stated this in a statement through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina on Tuesday.

The President joined members of the President-Elect’s family, especially his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, business partners and political associates in celebrating the remarkable age, heralded with many years of experience and achievements in the private and public sectors, which prepared him for the historic win on February 25, 2023.

Buhari stressed that Tinubu’s warmth, friendliness and generosity has set the pace for a network of friends, home and abroad, that would shape his presidency with requisite expertise to guide the economy, and consolidate on the investments of past leaders, particularly in people-first development and infrastructure.

“As the President-Elect prepares to take over mantle of leadership at 71, his political pedigree from the 90’s, active role in party politics, being elected Senator and later Governor of Lagos State, and diligent involvement in structure of leadership at the Executive and Legislative levels for many years, will serve as asset for good and effective governance,” the president stated.

He therefore, prayed for the wellbeing of Tinubu and his family.
