Ekiti State governor and APC presidential aspirant, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has congratulated former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing his emergence as the flagbearer of the party as the collective will of members of the party.
Dr Fayemi also congratulated the party leadership and the convention planning committee for the successful conduct of the special convention and presidential primary and President Muhammadu Buhari for superintending over a free, fair, and credible process as national leader of the party.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Yinka Oyebode, Dr Fayemi said Asiwaju Tinubu’s emergence represented the collective wish of the vast majority of members of APC, adding that the former Lagos State governor had proven his dedication and competence to lead the country at such an important time in history.
Fayemi, who stepped down for Tinubu at the convention, described the APC flagbearer as a “long-distance runner”, who could lead the country to greater heights in 2023.
“It is a great moment for our party. I congratulate Asiwaju Tinubu for the well-deserved victory and the leadership of the party as well as the convention committee members for a great job.
“Collectively, we shall move from this convention venue with greater determination to strengthen the party and work assiduously for the success of the party in the 2023 elections,’’ Fayemi said.
