Members and Conveners of The Asiwaju Group, TAG, have organized a victory dinner to celebrate the emergence of Bola Tinubu as the President-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The visibly elated host said the victory did not come to him as a surprise, stressing that it is a deserved victory for Mr Tinubu having contributed in no small measure to democratic tenets in the country.
“Asiwaju’s involvement, contributions and experience in the struggle for the democracy we practice today had indeed prepared him for the daunting task of leading our blessed nation, a fete achieved today,” he said.
Mr Abdullahi stressed that Mr Tinubu’s doggedness in the face of intimidations, intrepidity during military suppression, harassment/incarceration and his never-giving-up spirit in the face of several attempted assassinations by the ‘Kakhi Boiz’ were indeed hallmarks of a leader with determination, courage and guts.
He said: “The story surrounding this success in the just concluded polls is an experience that academics will study for a very long time.
“Losing your perceived strongholds, yet going ahead to win with a landslide is a sign of your acceptance across the country, your camaraderie with all and sundry and your Midas touch on every homo sapiens that had come across you one way or the other in life’.
“We are indeed particularly happy that as a group, we engineered Asiwaju’s declaration to contest even though he may have had that in mind. We are one of the foremost handful support groups to throw their weight behind him even when he had not declared to run.
“This success story, we are more than elated to share in it. As e dey pain the opposition, e dey sweet us that our leader did not only win, he did win with a resounding victory.
“Having been issued Certificate of Return to our candidate as the validly elected president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, we look forward to having a robust cabinet made up of brainiacs and eggheads, idiosyncratic of personage.
“We are very confident in the leadership deliverables and very sure that Asiwaju’s administration will birth a new Nigeria with the #RenewedHope Action Plan; a breath of fresh air and an egalitarian Nigeria where the son of nobody can become somebody without necessarily knowing anybody,” he noted.
