President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Bola Tinubu for
winning the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos, at the conclusion of the
APC presidential primary on Wednesday, polled 1,271 votes to defeat 13 other
contenders for the ticket.
In a letter addressed to Tinubu on Thursday, Buhari
expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the exercise, and said he was
impressed with the former Lagos governor’s performance.
“May I, on behalf of myself and my family, express once again, our warmest congratulations on your recent victory to become the Presidential Candidate of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). We also extend our congratulations to your lovely wife and entire family,” the letter reads.
“We were greatly
reassured by your impressive margin of victory at the primary elections which
demonstrated that our party, through its delegates, was united in its decision
to select you as its Presidential flag bearer.
“I must also commend you for your measured and inspiring
nomination acceptance speech that stressed the need for the party to unite as
we move into the campaign season.
“Under your wise, experienced, and matured leadership, I
have no doubt that this unity will be achieved in short time.
“As a party, our
successes over the last 7 years are clear for all to see. Significant
accomplishments have been achieved in economic diversification, social
investments and addressing insecurity and terrorism especially in the North
East and South-South and fighting corruption.
“Thus, your victory at the APC primaries represent for
Nigerians, a source of hope for a future characterised by peace, prosperity and
freedom for all.
“I look forward to working closely with Your Excellency,
your campaign team and the wider APC family to ensure victory for the APC.
“Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my
highest consideration and best wishes for your success in the upcoming campaign
season and subsequent elections in 2023.”
