A group, Third Republic House of Representatives Members Forum, has described the President-elect, Senator Bola Tinubu, as “a well-equipped, committed, and trusted Nigerian who has the capacity to transform the country.”
The former legislators in a press release signed by their Chairman Dr Adzer Abya, Publicity Secretary Hon Gabriel EniOtu and Secretary Hon Wasiu Logun, Friday, said “they see in Tinubu a promise and commitment to one Nigeria with development and prosperity for all irrespective of religious, ethnic or political affiliation.”
“In the verdict of most Nigerians, you have what it takes to serve and record outstanding success,” they said.
According to them, the inauguration of Tinubu as President May 29, 2023 would usher in a new era of a transformed Nigeria that would secure, protect and cater for the welfare of all Nigerians.
They recalled the days of Senator Tinubu in the National Assembly in the Third Republic and expressed optimism that the country under him would achieve a new Nigeria that would represent the hopes and aspirations of the African continent and the entire black race.
On the recently concluded general elections, the Forum commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his commitment to democracy including his recognition of Late MKO Abiola post-humously as the winner of the June 12, 1993, presidential election.
They expressed delight that June 12 which happened during their era had been recognised as democracy day in the country.
The emergence of Tinubu, a member of the Third Republic National Assembly, they argued, is an indication that all other issues relating to that Republic would be settled.
