The All Progressives Congress (APC) has felicitated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his 73rd birthday anniversary, describing him as a man whose life exemplified boundless determination, diligence, courage, and resilience.
APC, in a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, claimed that from the fast-paced corporate realm to the rugged political boardwalk, the President has excelled as an ace administrator and iconic leader.
The national leadership of the party also claimed that less than two years into his administration, his visionary leadership has ushered in a turnaround, with manifest strides that now place the country firmly on the cusp of epochal transformation and prosperity.
Going spiritual, the national leadership noted that as he celebrates, God will grant him greater grace, more wisdom, and excellent health to continue to serve the country and humanity.
According to the statement: “Mr President, your life’s journey exemplifies boundless determination, diligence, courage, and resilience, and distinguished you as an exceptional leader. From the fast-paced corporate realm to the rugged political boardwalk, you excelled as an ace administrator and iconic leader.
“As Governor of Lagos State, you left a legacy of achievements that became the launchpad for Lagos as a vibrant megacity with a highly competitive Gross Domestic Product (GDP) far larger than that of many African countries, a legacy your successors in office have continued to consolidate upon.
“As President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, at a trying time in our nation’s history, you rose to the occasion, undaunted, patriotically rolling out policies and reforms, with zestful commitment, to tackle generational barriers to national progress and restore vitality and growth to the economy.
“Less than two years on, your visionary leadership has ushered a turnaround, with manifest strides that now place our country firmly on the cusp of epochal transformation and prosperity.
“We are proud to be associated in partnership with you, in your unyielding efforts to deliver on the Renewed Hope Agenda for progress and prosperity of all Nigerians.
“On behalf of the National Chairman of our great party, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, distinguished members of the NWC, leaders, stakeholders, and teeming members of the APC, we heartily congratulate Your Excellency on this auspicious occasion of your 73rd birthday anniversary.
“As you celebrate, it is our fervent prayer that the Almighty Allah (SWT), in His infinite mercy, grants you greater grace, more wisdom, and excellent health to continue to serve our dear country and humanity. Congratulations, again, Your Excellency!” APC congratulated in the statement.
