His perception of this country, his belief in justice, equity, unity, and accountable leadership continue to give hope to a lot of Nigerians, especially at a time when the nation yearns for credible and visionary leadership,” he added. “His relevance in the political sphere is intact, and his voice remains very important in shaping the future of Nigeria.”
Dr. Edoh also took a moment to congratulate the youth of the entire country for having a leader that is focused politically who believe in equal rights and the rule of law for all Nigerians especially the youth and the next generation of leaders, noting that Senator Tambuwal’s political values and democratic orientation offer reassurance and inspiration to young Nigerians aspiring to leadership and meaningful participation in governance.
