Osinbajo to Tinubu: You’ve demonstrated consistent fidelity to progressive ideals

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has congratulated Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on his victory in the just concluded presidential elections in Nigeria. The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate was declared the winner of the election early on Wednesday by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Yakubu Mahmoud.

In a statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, Osinbajo congratulated Tinubu on his victory and praised him for his consistent fidelity to progressive and welfarist ideals, as well as his ability to build bridges across several divides. The Vice President also congratulated Senator Kashim Shettima on his declaration as Vice President-Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Osinbajo addressed Tinubu directly, stating that his previous years of public service have demonstrated his commitment to progressive ideals and his ability to build bridges across divides. These attributes are needed, especially at this time, to reach out to disaffected sections of society and to meet the aspirational expectations of young people who have shown a strong desire to impact the democratic process positively.

The Vice President further emphasized the need for all Nigerians to remain focused on the objective of birthing the Nigeria of our dreams. He expressed his belief that setbacks will not truncate the strong desire of the people to determine the future course of the national journey. Osinbajo prayed that Almighty God would help Tinubu to fulfill the progressive mandate of the APC and his various plans to improve the security, welfare, and happiness of all Nigerians.

The Vice President had earlier led Federal Ministers to congratulate Tinubu, his wife Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady-Designate, and the Vice President-Elect, Senator Kashim Shettima, during the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting. Osinbajo wished Tinubu the very best as he prepares to lead the country in the next few months.

Later on, the Vice President attended the formal presentation of the INEC Certificates of Return to both the President-Elect and Vice President-Elect at the National Collation Center located at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
