Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, the Lagos State APC Chairman has congratulated the President-elect, Sen. Bola Tinubu, saying that his was well deserved.
Ojelabi, in a statement by the APC’s Publicity Secretary in the state, Mr Seye Oladejo, on Monday acknowledged the wide support for Tinubu across board despite the keen nature of the contest.
He applauded all the leaders, members and sympathisers of APC for their diligence, perseverance, commitment, vigilance, and sacrifice in the days preceding the election, during and thereafter.
Ojelabi also appreciated all Nigerians who despite the excruciating challenges of recent times performed their responsibilities to further entrench our democracy.
“The electoral body – INEC – the security agencies and other stakeholders will go down in history as midwives to a free, fair, transparent and historic election in Nigeria.
“The role of the opposition parties who made a keen contest of the election by providing options for the electorates was significant of tremendous growth in our nascent democracy,” he said.
He assured that Tinubu would fulfill his part of the social contract with all Nigerians by delivering in totality on his manifesto of “RENEWED HOPE”.
Ojelabi said that this would usher in an era of peace, security, prosperity, nationwide growth and our restoration to a place of pride in the comity of nations.
“Nigerians have chosen a prepared president whose selling point remains his antecedent, pedigree and unwavering commitment to progressive governance,” he said.
