The House of Representatives Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, has congratulated Bola Tinubu.
The former Lagos State Governor clinched the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential ticket on Wednesday.
In a statement, the lawmaker said he was elated that his political mentor won the APC primary.
He described the victory as well-deserved, considering Tinubu’s “years of working for the entrenchment of democracy in Nigeria”.
Gbajabiamila said the APC stood a good chance of retaining power in 2023.
The Speaker described Tinubu as a dogged fighter who stood his ground to compete the primary in a democratic manner.
“I congratulate my mentor for this victory. This is a victory for democracy and Nigerians as a whole.
“He stood his ground that the APC must organise a free, fair and transparent presidential primary if it wanted to remain the party to beat.”
Gbajabiamila hailed the APC leader for his doggedness, determination, resilience and tenacity.
“This is a victory for APC, a victory for its members and indeed a victory for Nigeria and its democracy,” he added.
