He possesses the capacity, experience, will, and courage to implement policies and take actions that will restore Nigeria to its former greatness. Now that the Supreme Court has affirmed his victory, it is incumbent upon all Nigerians, regardless of their political affiliations, to set aside any contrary hopes they may have had for the February 25 election, and embrace the reality of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s presidency, for the love and well-being of our country peoples”
He offered his prayers that God would endow the president with continuous good health, greater wisdom and the courage to make decisions that will lead Nigeria to its deserved greatness.
