Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) say they are inspired by the party’s National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s untiring and selfless leadership and commitment to a united and prosperous Nigeria.
The Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF) stated this in a Sunday statement in honour of Tinubu’s 69th birthday, which comes up today, March 29.
The governors said they would continue to look up to the former Lagos governor for inspiration and guidance.
Chairman of the forum and Kebbi State Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Bagudu, who signed, the said, “PGF joins all Nigerians to celebrate the birthday of His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; we celebrate this special occasion with Your Excellency and your entire family.
“We particularly wish to acknowledge and commend your untiring and selfless leadership and commitment to a united and prosperous Nigeria.

“We rejoice with you and will always continue to look up to you for inspiration and guidance.”
He acknowledged Tinubu’s contributions to the emergence and growth of APC, emerging from opposition to a governing party.
This, he noted, was through hard and very difficult negotiations which had bestowed upon the party’s leaders the responsibility of managing the country’s affairs.
Bagudu added that this was a historic achievement that past political leaders of the country were unable to achieve.
He further noted that under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, in partnership with many other leaders of the party, including Tinubu, the politics of Nigeria was passing through fundamental changes.
Bagudu said this had necessitated the institution of enduring progressive governance in the country.
“As our national leader, you certainly represent one of the inspirations for our successes.
“Congratulations and happy birthday to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the Jagaban of Bogu Kingdom,” he said.
