Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday congratulated President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, saying he had in his previous years demonstrated a consistent fidelity to progressive and welfarist ideals, and an ability to build bridges across several divides.
Osinbajo, who was at the handing of Certificate of Return to Tinubu by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja, said these attributes were needed, especially at this time, to reach out to disaffected sections of the society and to meet the aspirational expectations of young people who had shown such a strong desire to impact democratic process in a positive way.
“I warmly congratulate the flagbearer of our great party, the All Progressives Congress, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, @officialasiwajubat on his victory at the 2023 Presidential Elections, and his declaration as President-Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“I also congratulate His Excellency, Senator Kashim Shettima on his declaration as Vice President-Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
“In your previous years of public service, you have demonstrated a consistent fidelity to progressive and welfarist ideals, and an ability to build bridges across several divides.
“These attributes are needed especially at this time, to reach out to disaffected sections of our society and to meet the aspirational expectations of our young people who have shown such a strong desire to impact our democratic process in a positive way,” he said.
Osinbajo said he trust that they would not allow whatever setbacks they might have experienced to truncate their strong desire to determine the future course of national journey.
“Through thick and thin, we must all remain focused on the objective of birthing the Nigeria of our dreams.
“I pray that Almighty God will help you to fulfil the progressive mandate of our Party, as well as your various plans to improve the security, welfare and happiness of all Nigerians.”
