The Chairman, Senate Committee on Defense and Deputy Chairman, Senate Committee on Anti-Corruption, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, has congratulated Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for clinching the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 general elections.
Senator Wamakko in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Hassan Sanyinnawal made available to ASHENEWS on Wednesday, described the victory of the APC National Leader as a well-deserved one considering Tinubu’s years entrenching and strengthening of democracy in Nigeria.
According him, with Tinubu’s victory, APC stands a good chance of retaining power in 2023, considering his years of contributions to Nigeria’s development.
“His emergence is a victory for democracy and Nigerians as a whole,” Wamakko said while explaining that Tinubu stood his ground that the APC must organize a free, fair and transparent presidential primary, if it wanted to remain the party to beat.
Senator Wamakko commended Asiwaju’s doggedness, determination, resilience and tenacity in pursuing his ambition without indulging in any activity that would affect other aspirants and the image of the party.
“This is a victory for APC, a victory for its members and indeed a victory for Nigeria and its democracy,” Wamakko said.
He urged other aspirants to join hands and support the party’s presidential candidate to achieve success in the forthcoming 2023 general election.
Wamakko also lauded President Muhammadu Buhari and the leadership of the party for providing the enabling level ground for all aspirants to present themselves to the party’s delegates for the contest.
