The APC chieftain noted that this was the first time a core progressives member is sworn in as the president of Nigeria, hence the celebration.
He assured that with the new progressives government, there will be all round development as planned.
His words, “we are celebrating the emergence of All Progressives Congress (APC). You will agree with me that this is the first time a core progressive will be the president of this country. This calls for celebration. As progressives, we are celebrating the emergence of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the 16th president of Nigeria.
“No one can doubt the ability and capability of Asiwaju when it comes to development. We have seen what he was able to achieve in Lagos State. He touched all the aspects of developmental projects in Lagos including security, education, health. With this, we are sure that he will replicate this at the federal level.
“I appreciate the immediate past governor of Osun State, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola for giving the opportunity of celebrating with Jagaban here in Osun. Those of us that cannot go to Abuja, we are celebrating here.”
