The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Tuesday, extolled the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, who turns 71 today (Wednesday).
Buhari said Tinubu’s “friendliness and generosity” will shape his presidency when he takes over in two months.
Buhari said this in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, titled, ‘President Buhari hails President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu at 71.’
“President Buhari believes Asiwaju’s warmth, friendliness and generosity has set the pace for a network of friends, home and abroad, that will shape his presidency with requisite expertise to guide the economy, and consolidate on the investments of past leaders, particularly in people-first development and infrastructure.
“As the President-elect prepares to take over mantle of leadership at 71, the President affirms that his political pedigree from the 90s, active role in party politics, being elected Senator and later Governor of Lagos State, and diligent involvement in structure of leadership at the executive and legislative levels for many years, will serve as asset for good and effective governance,” the statement read in part.
