“We Supported You Before” – Tinubu Makes Fresh Promise To Buhari

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu has promised that his support for Muhammadu Buhari won’t end when the President’s tenure expires in 2023.

Tinubu who praised Buhari for his roles and efforts in repositioning Nigeria said he has always supported him before he became President and won’t stop doing so when his tenure ends.

The former Lagos State Governor made the submission on Tuesday while speaking at the ongoing 3-day ministerial retreat for Ministers and Permanent Secretaries in Abuja.

A statement from his media office signed by Tunde Rahman quoted Tinubu as saying Buhari set Nigeria on the right path “after years of maladministration.”

Tinubu promised to always be a friend and ally of Buhari in and out of office.

He said, “Thank you, President Buhari and may I say thank you on behalf of all Nigerians to your entire administration, represented by all present today.

“We supported you before your first day in office. I will remain your friend and ally even after your final day at the job.

“I can say this because I know the vision you hold for Nigeria. It is a good and uplifting one. I know the level of patriotic dedication with which you have served this nation. I know the things you have achieved.

“May I say this to you and to your entire team; the things you have done are important and enduring. Try as they might, no one can take those achievements away from you. Yet, it is the fate of the selfless worker to labour too hard and too long to write his own story. He would rather accomplish things for good of all than to focus attention on himself.”
