Bamidele: Tinubu’s victory, opportunity to reset Nigeria

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, Sen. Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, has congratulated the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, saying his emergence is an in-road to new Nigeria.

Bamidele described Tinubu’s victory in the keenly contested presidential election as a well-deserved reward for his “courage, resilience, doggedness, hard work, unwavering determination, decades of building bridges across the nook and cranny and strong faith in God.”

The senator said this via a statement issued on Wednesday.

“Asiwaju’s victory is a sign that there is no short cut to success, but hard work,” he added.

The federal lawmaker, who is also the Chairman, Southern Senators’ Forum, stressed that the “special grace of God upon Tinubu, his age-long vision to transform the country, his extensive political structures and networking skills, his philanthropic gestures and goodwill and the pragmatic execution of a most strategic, scientific and issue-driven campaign across the length and breadth of Nigeria contributed remarkably to Tinubu’s victory at the just concluded elections.”

Bamidele stated that Nigeria is well favoured to have a leader like Tinubu as its President because he is “an adept problem-solver, a world class technocrat, and a democrat with remarkable progressive credentials.”

He stressed that Tinubu’s assumption of office as Nigeria’s President will herald the realisation of a new Nigeria of the citizens’ dreams.

Senator Bamidele added that Tinubu’s presidency will foster unity, peace and security, federalism, and international solidarity.

He, however, enjoined Nigerians, especially Tinubu’s opponents and their supporters to join hands with the President-elect and his team in building a new Nigeria that the continent of Africa and the rest of the world can be proud of.

“It is high time Nigeria took his rightful place in the comity of nations.

“I implore the people of Nigeria, especially his opponents and their teeming supporters to join hands with Tinubu and his team to enable him replicate his laudable and lofty achievements in Lagos State in building the new Nigeria that the continent of Africa and the rest of the world can be proud of,” the lawmaker said.
