The National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has been described as an inspirational political leader and champion of  national unity and development.

Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, made the remark on Saturday ahead of the 68 birthday of Tinubu coming up on Sunday.

His words: “All through his political life, Asiwaju Tinubu has doggedly groomed leaders, set development templates and built bridges for national integration and cohesion, all of which he sees as necessary tools for robust development and great nationhood.

“Asiwaju Tinubu’s concept of leadership enables him to motivate associates and inspire in them confidence and loyalty. His imprints are indelible on politics and governance at the sub-national and national levels in Nigeria.”

The Senate President said he rejoiced with him, his family, friends and political associates on the auspicious occasion.

He prayed that the Almighty Allah should grant him many more years of service to humanity and his beloved Nigeria.

In a similar vein, Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, commended Tinubu for his service to fatherland.

While applauding the elder statesman for standing vehemently against military regime, Senator Omo-Agege described him as a political icon and architect of modern Lagos.

He pointed out that Tinubu would continue to remain a reference point in Nigerian politics because of his selfless and humane nature.

“Your antecedents are clear attestations to my belief that you still have a lot to render to your fatherland – a Senator who later set the template for the greatness and viability of Lagos State; a political icon known for standing resolutely for democracy during the military era, leading eminent patriots towards actualising the restoration of democracy.

“Your capacity to work vibrantly with people across all forms of divides has enriched Nigeria’s politics and fostered tremendous unity of purpose such as that which birthed the All Progressives Congress.

“I have no doubt that, for you and all your ardent followers, this birthday will signpost a renewal of hope and the strong resolve to lift our nation higher, even in the face of daunting odds.

“I heartily felicitate with you,  the family, friends, associates and innumerable admirers as you clock 68 today. I wish you good health and greater prosperity in the years ahead,” Omo-Agege said.
