Lagos
State House of Assembly Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, Senator representing
Lagos East Zone ‘Gbenga Ashafa, Afenifere chieftain Senator Ayo
Fasanmi, House of Representatives member James Faleke and others have
saluted the courage, determination, commitment and the will to succeed
displayed by All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart Asiwaju Bola Ahmed
Tinubu.
In different statements to celebrate the 65th birthday anniversary of the former governor, they urged politicians to emulate him.
Obasa, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Musbau Razak, described Tinubu as the architect of modern Lagos.
He stated that the ingenuity of the former governor turned the state once regarded as the dirtiest in the country to the cleanest and also achieved a mega city status.
“He’s not only the architect of modern Lagos, he’s also a great leader of men, whose unrivalled ability to discover talent has led to the discovery of great leaders, who have turned out to become reference points in great leadership and good governance,” the Speaker said.
Obasa added that Asiwaju Tinubu would continue to remain relevant and the main reference point in Nigerian politics because of his selfless and humane nature.
“His love for the common man knows no bound and his passion for the development and growth of this great country makes him arguably Nigeria’s greatest politician of the present political dispensation,” he said.
He said: “On behalf of other members of the Lagos State House of Assembly, I greet our leader and wish him more years of celebration in good health and wisdom.”
Ashafa described Asiwaju as a leader, who would never be bereft of loyal followership.
Noting that the former Lagos State governor has paid his dues by building able lieutenants, the senator hailed Tinubu for being selfless. He described the quality as “uncommon among political elite”.
In his goodwill message, titled: “Toast to an uncommon leader at 65”, Ashafa said of Tinubu: “He’s clearly demonstrated that leadership is all about service. He has always shown leadership by example.
“Asiwaju Tinubu has never done anything for selfish motives. He sacrifices personal comfort for the benefit of the society. He will continue to enjoy loyal, faithful and dedicated followership.
“There no gainsaying in the fact that Asiwaju as a leader sees ahead of others. Two of his lieutenants, who took the mantle of leadership as governors have confirmed his ability to groom successors. His dream of taking Lagos to loftier heights has become a reality.”
The senator urged other politicians to take a cue from Tinubu by showing genuine commitment to the wellbeing of the society.
Fasanmi, in a statement, rejoiced with the APC national leader and showered encomiums on him for his achievements in Lagos State as a governor.
According to the statement, Fasanmi said Tinubu transformed Lagos State, laid foundation for good governance and has become a leading light in national politics.
”At 65, you have assured for yourself a place of honour in the contemporary history and archives of our society. Please continue to remain firm like an anvil under the stroke. I wish you many happy returns of your birthday. The struggle continues. God bless,” the statement added.
In his tribute, House of Representatives member Faleke described Tinubu as a leader of leaders and a dogged political fighter.
Faleke, who is representing the Ikeja Federal Constituency, said the former Lagos State governor has demonstrated an unflinching fate in developing a generation of future leaders.
According to him, the APC stalwart would rather stand alone rather than jump the ship to join the bandwagon.
The federal lawmaker, in his message, titled: “Hearty Cheers to an ICON @ 65”, listed the sterling attributes that endeared Tinubu to his followers.
He said: “We are inspired by your astute political leadership, motivated by your sense of purpose and encouraged by your selfless service to humanity. You are respected for your sense of focus and resilience and cherished for your love and compassion.”
Congratulating the APC stalwart, who he called a dynamic strategist on his 65th birthday, Faleke said: “Your best is yet to come.”
