The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has reassured Nigerians that the President-elect is looking rejuvenated and ready to hit the ground running ahead of his May 29 inauguration.
Adamu gave the reassurance when he received the delegation of a pro-Nigeria group under the aegis of The Natives at the APC headquarters in Abuja on Thursday.
Adamu had on Wednesday, along with some members of the National Working Committee of the party, visited Tinubu, who returned from foreign vacation on Monday, at the Defence House.
He said, “Anytime I meet any of our support groups, I can’t feel complete in my address without congratulating us, you for victory in the last election. Today, through your concerted efforts, in collaborating with us, voting us, we have a brand new President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the person of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“He took time off because of the rigours of the campaigns. We thank God that he is back. I was with him along with some members of the NWC. He is hale and hearty. He is ready to work. He is rejuvenated and ready work.”
While stating that the nation was eagerly looking forward to a smooth transition on May 29, the APC chairman appealed to Nigerians to continue to support the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), long after he leaves office.
“We want your continued support for us and the incoming government. The APC wants your support to ensuring that our transition is smooth and peaceful. We want President Muhammadu to hand over safely by the end of May, 29. Buhari has led us to this victory. And one way we can pay him is to ensure that he has a very peaceful exit.”
The Coordinator of The Natives, Edwards Smart, told journalists they visited the secretariat to reaffirm their confidence in the party’s choice of the Tinubu-Shettima ticket.
He said, “We, as voters, have come to thank God for the victory, celebrate with the party, its NWC and also our dynamic and indefatigable national chairman.”
