Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has congratulated Bola Tinubu,
former Lagos governor, on winning the presidential ticket of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Tinubu was declared winner of the APC primary on Wednesday,
after he polled 1,271 votes to defeat 13 other presidential hopefuls.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Osinbajo urged party
members to support Tinubu, adding that the latter’s experience will contribute
positively to Nigeria’s prosperity.
“I congratulate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his victory at
our party primaries and his emergence as the Presidential Candidate and
Flagbearer of our great party, the APC for the forthcoming 2023 Presidential
Elections,” the statement reads.
“I also congratulate
President Muhammadu Buhari and all leaders of the APC for a successful Special
Convention and Presidential Primary.
“For many decades, our Flagbearer has shown passion, patriotism,
courage and determination in the cause of nation-building. His sterling
contributions to our democracy and its progress stand him out. His wealth of
experience will certainly be critical in our party’s continued efforts to
attain a more secure and prosperous Nigeria.
“To all members of our great party, regardless of who you
voted for at the primaries, we must now unite behind our Presidential Candidate
and Flagbearer to ensure victory for our party in the 2023 elections.
“As true progressives,
we must remain strong and united in pursuing our collective vision as a party
toward building a country that can provide a decent life and livelihoods for
all our people.”
