On Tuesday, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retired), predicted that Bola Tinubu’s administration would bring about competent governance in Nigeria.
He stated that Tinubu would assume presidential duties on May 29 and has the political background and expertise to do it.
The President made this assertion in a statement released on Tuesday by Femi Adesina, his special adviser on media and publicity.
He said, “As the President-elect prepares to take over mantle of leadership at 71, the President affirms that his political pedigree from the 90’s, active role in party politics, being elected Senator and later Governor of Lagos State, and diligent involvement in structure of leadership at the Executive and Legislative levels for many years, will serve as asset for good and effective governance.
“President Buhari believes Asiwaju’s warmth, friendliness and generosity has set the pace for a network of friends, home and abroad, that will shape his presidency with requisite expertise to guide the economy, and consolidate on the investments of past leaders, particularly in people-first development and infrastructure”.
