Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has described the President-elect — Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a hero of democracy whose democratic credentials are scholarly materials for study in political economy.
The Governor reiterated the fact that the country is blessed to have Tinubu as the next democratically elected president from May 29, given his intellect, development-focused and detribalised disposition towards governance.
This was released in a statement signed by Sanwo-Olu’s Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile, congratulating the President-elect on the occasion of his 71st birthday.
“Asiwaju Tinubu has donated the greater part of his adult life for service to humanity, Lagos State and Nigeria. His many contributions to democracy and good governance have helped the political and democratic trajectory of Nigeria since 1999. It is also on record that he stood firmly on the side of the Nigerian people, even at the risk of losing his life and personal belongings during the dark days of the military junta.
“He fought tirelessly with other progressives and pro-democracy activists during the annulment of the June 12 struggle to end the military interregnum and enthrone democracy, which we all enjoy today.”
