President Muhammadu Buhari says Nigerians have made the right decision in electing Bola Tinubu as the next president of the country.
The president said this in his farewell broadcast on Sunday as he prepares to exit office tomorrow, May 29.
According to the outgoing president, Tinubu was the best among the presidential candidates who contested the 2023 election.
On Monday, Tinubu, the winner of the February 25 presidential election, will be sworn into office.
In his speech, Buhari congratulated Tinubu for achieving his dream of being the president of the country.
He identified the president-elect’s passion for excellence, competence and fairness as keys to propel the country to higher levels.
“To my brother, friend and fellow worker in the political terrain for the past ten years — Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he said.
“I congratulate you on the realisation of your dream, which was propelled by a burning passion to put Nigeria among the leading nations of the world.
“You have indeed worked for this day and God has crowned your efforts.
“I have no doubt that your passion for excellence, reliance on competence, fairness in relationships, commitment to equity, loyalty to the country and desire for Nigeria to be globally relevant would come through for you, under God’s guidance, as you lead our country to levels higher that I am leaving.
“You are the best candidate among all the contestants and Nigerians have chosen well.”
Buhari stressed he is fulfilled that his administration started the “rebirth” of Nigeria.
He expressed confidence leaving Nigeria better than he met the country in 2015
