Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari, his
Vice, Professor Yemi Osinbajo and Lagos State Governor, Mr.
Akinwunmi Ambode on
Thursday took turns to eulogise the National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he clocked 66.
Speaking at the 10th Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Colloquium, organised to commemorate the former Lagos Governor's
birthday, President Buhari described Tinubu as a political patriot who has
over the years invested in building people and creating future leaders of tomorrow.
"I call on Nigerians to join me to
celebrate Asiwaju, a man who is widely known as a political strategist and I
have come to see him as a man who cares about people and is a fountain of ideas
for the economy and for the common man and woman. He is a true democrat and we
appreciate his contribution for Nigeria’s capital progress.
"Asiwaju has invested in people because
he believes that tomorrow
will be better than today and good will one day triumph over evil," Buhari
said.
Commending the concept of the Colloquium
and describing the theme, 'Investing In People' as apt, the
President said the Federal Government over the last two years had initiated
programmes and policies that have made direct impact on the people, adding that
the nation can only grow when government invests in its people.
