Youth and Sports Minister Celebrates President-Elect Tinubu at 71
The Sports and Youth Development Minister Chief Sunday Dare congratulates the President-Elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who clocks 71 today.
Chief Dare says, “Tinubu, you chose the road less travelled, see where it has led you.”
Congratulations to Nigeria’s foremost democrat and itinerant mobiliser and organiser, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
71 years on, you remain the central personality in Nigeria’s democratic space no wonder you won a keenly contested and one of the freest and fairest elections in Nigerian history.
You stand today as Nigeria’s President-Elect not by chance or happenstance, but by a divine path charted before now and your unquestionable commitment, investment and support in Nigeria’s democratic struggle and the birth of democracy.
History is replete with the various roles you played in the various epochs of Nigeria’s development, and in February 2023 the moment, and indeed history found the man. You chose the road less travelled and see where it has led you.
You are the kind of leader Nigeria needs now to continue to steer her in the paths of growth, progress, unity and prosperity after President Buhari.
My prayer today is that God gives you many more years in good health and the wisdom, knowledge and understanding you need to move Nigeria Forward.
