High Chief Abiola Ogundokun Congratulates Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu

High Chief Abiola Ogundokun, the Obanla of Iwoland, has hailed the victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the just-concluded presidential election.

While congratulating the President-Elect in a  letter made available to newsmen on Wednesday, the Iwo high chief described Tinubu as a political enigma whose political experience, sagacity and know-how is worth studying.  

He maintained that Asiwaju’s presidency will usher in an era of prosperity and unprecedented development for the country. He added that the victory of the former governor in the keenly-contested election is a victory for the generality of Nigerians, particularly the common man.

The letter reads: ‘’Your Excellency, accept my warm congratulations on your victory. I extend my best wishes for your success as you prepare to take up the responsibilities and challenges of leading our beloved country into an era of prosperity and high hope.

“Your victory at the polls is no doubt a victory for all Nigerians. It is now very clear that you’re a man destined for this challenge of leading at this particular period.

“The victory is reward for hard work and doggedness both of which you exemplify. While others busied themselves with frivolities, you strategized. You worked for this victory and you earned the reward.

Mr. President-Elect, once again I congratulate you. ’’ The elder statesman wrote.

It would recalled that the publisher had about five years ago predicted that the former Lagos governor would one day hold the highest position in Nigeria.

‘’I said this long time ago that Asiwaju would one day become Nigeria’s President and it has finally come to past’’

 Chief Ogundokun also urged Asiwaju to extend an olive branch to the candidates that lost at the polls and to use his leadership quality to build a government of  National unity.
