There is no doubt that the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, will perform creditably in office, former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (retd.), has said.
IBB spoke in a congratulatory message to Tinubu, winner of the 2023 presidential election.
In the statement issued by the media office of the former military president, IBB lauded the Independent National Electoral Commission for ensuring the successful conduct of the election, which, according to him, would usher the citizens into a new Nigeria.
The statement saluted the courage of the electorates for turning out for the exercise.
It read in parts, “It’s a thing of joy that this is happening in my lifetime. I can confidently say that Tinubu is a good man for the job. I have no doubt that Tinubu would perform as the President of Nigeria.
“For some of us who have been there before, I know that there is still more work to be done, and I believe that Tinubu has what it takes to take Nigeria to the next level.
“We have the potential as a nation, what we need is a good direction so that we can continue to be seen as the giant of Africa. Indeed, our best is yet to come, but we can get to where we ought to be with determination and commitment.
“This is a bright moment for Nigeria, we have to take our destiny in our hands and make things work for us as a nation. We cannot continue to do things the same way, and I believe that God will make things work for this country again.”
