The Dan Darma of Lokoja,Barr Naseer Ahmed, on Monday congratulated President Bola Tinubu on his successful inauguration as Nigeria’s new president.
The APC chieftain’s congratulatory message is contained in a statement he personally signed and made available to Newsmen in Abuja.
He also felicitated Nigerians on the successful completion of the process of transition from one administration to another, adding that the seamless transition was an attestation to the growth of democratic culture in Nigeria.
Ahmed hailed Nigerians for keeping faith with APC by electing its standard bearer, Tinubu, during the Feb. 25 presidential election and accepting his ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda as an instrument of taking Nigeria to the harbor of prosperity and fulfillment.
According to him, with Tinubu in the driver’s seat, Nigeria is in safe hands for sustainable development, economic revival, sustenance of infrastructure renewal, reduction of poverty as well as wealth and job creation. Attesting to Tinubu’s commitment to making a difference in running a government that would live up to expectations, Ahmed described him as a seasoned administrator and strategist, with the wealth of experience to turn the fortunes of Nigeria around.
Ahmed noted that it was remarkable for Nigeria to have carried out seven consecutive and successful transitions since return to democracy in 1999, saying that the country’s democracy had grown in leap and bound and had come to stay.
He described Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda as a blueprint, carefully packaged to provide necessary panacea to the challenges confronting the polity in various sectors.
The Dan Darma of Lokoja also congratulated the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari on the successful completion of his tenure for superintending over a successful general election, which had now birthed an equally successful transfer of power.
“I urge Nigerians, irrespective of their political, ethnic and religious affiliations, to pray for the success of President Tinubu and support him to realise his dream of a prosperous Nigeria that will fully realise its potentials.
“The elections have come and gone. President Tinubu is now the father of the nation; he is not a president of his political party or a section of the country but president of the whole entity called Nigeria.
“Tinubu has demonstrated competence as senator during which he was Chairman, Senate Committee on Banking and Currency and during his stellar two-term tenure as governor of Lagos, which has remained a reference point in governance in Nigeria” he said.
