After the emergence of his predecessor and leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as President-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the recently concluded presidential election, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said the nation’s democracy has won another big success.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, in a swift reaction to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) announcement of presidential election results in the early hours of Wednesday, said Tinubu contested and won a fiercely fought democratic battle, emphasizing that the victory reflected the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate’s belief in deepening democracy in the country.
The Governor stated that the opportunity provided to residents to choose their leaders through a peaceful electoral process further established democracy as the only credible means of gaining power, with the people at the centre of the struggle.

Sanwo-Olu said: “Asiwaju has worked tirelessly in the past two decades to deepen democracy in Nigeria, building bridges across the length and breadth of the country. His political credentials, which are a product of his many years of genuine investment in human and national development have played critical roles in giving him the national spread and endeared him to millions of Nigerians.
“Asiwaju’s decades of political activism and democratic struggle are well understood by the people. They, in return, have built their trust in him as a true democrat and a man to work with for Nigeria to continue on the path of unity, economic growth and development.’’
Sanwo-Olu congratulated the President-elect and expressed confidence that Asiwaju Tinubu will work hard to return the country to the league of nations where economic prosperity, security, and political stability are trademarks of development.
‘‘I congratulate my leader, mentor and president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on this historic achievement. Beyond that, I am confident that you will, in no time turn around the fortunes of Nigeria for the better in all the areas for Nigeria to sit permanently among nations with stable political, economic and social development,” Sanwo-Olu said.

Tinubu, Lagos Governor, said that he will lead Africa’s largest democracy and create a magnificent example for Africans who want to govern countries and cities on our continent.
“I have no doubt in my mind that Tinubu’s leadership style and democratic credentials will soon become a major lesson to other African leaders, who in turn will benefit immensely as they watch Nigeria navigate her ways through the various paths to economic recovery, social and political development.
“Congratulations to Nigerians and all lovers of democracy,” Sanwo-Olu said.
