He said, “I congratulate Nigerians for witnessing the unprecedented assumption of office by a President and his Vice who are well equipped with remarkable experience as former Governors and Senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“I have no doubt the Tinubu administration will herald the dawn of a new era of economic prosperity, rapid industrialization, national security, peaceful co-existence among the varying ethnic and religious groups across the nation, the strengthening of national unity as well as the consolidation of our nation’s prominent status in Africa and in the world at large.”
