President Buhari’s return is nation’s hope fulfilled, says
Tinubu
All Progressives Congress chieftain, Sen. Bola Tinubu, on
Saturday urged Nigerians to remain united and support President Muhammadu
Buhari as he pursues the progressive agenda for which he was elected, for a
better nation.
Tinubu, in a statement entitled ‘President Buhari’s Return:
A Nation’s Hope Fulfilled’ in Lagos, said just as Nigerians gathered to pray
for the health and return of the president from medical vacation abroad, they
should remain supportive now that he is back.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Buhari left
Nigeria on May 7 for the second round of his medical treatment in London and
returned on Saturday.
Buhari, who arrived at 4:35 p.m., is expected to address the
nation on Monday.
Tinubu said: ”Just as we gathered to pray for his health and
his return, we must remain united in spirit to support President Buhari as he
pursues the progressive agenda for which he was elected, and that promises us
all a better day.
”Our nation is strong, but must overcome many challenges. We
can do so with President Buhari at the helm and with the rest of the nation in
active support.
”Thus, the president’s return is both real and symbolic.
”We all must renew our faith in our collective purpose and
rededicate ourselves to a nation indivisible and united in reconstructing our
political economy so that it provides a decent and good life to all our
people.”
He described President Buhari as a man of moral fortitude,
discipline, strength and dedication.
According to him, these attributes have helped him battle
medical challenges.
”President Buhari”s return home is our prayers answered and
these attributes which he possesses will lead him to success in surmounting our
national challenges.
”President Buhari has demonstrated time and again his
devotion to this nation and its great causes.
”His love for the country and the realisation that he has a
mission to fulfil so that Nigeria may realise its better self by providing
security and prosperity to all Nigerians has compelled him home, ”he said.
Tinubu said it was heartening to see that the nation had
matured to the point where governance continued in a meaningful and seamless
manner during the president’s absence.
He said it was a sign of the harmony between President Buhari
and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
”On this day, it is even more heartening to think of the
things that can now be achieved with President Buhari back to lead the nation.
”Today is a glad and happy one for those who wish Nigeria
well. While we celebrate the President’s return, we also must quickly turn to
the hard and heavy work at hand.
”With President Buhari back and with the nation united
behind him, we can accomplish excellent things. May we do our best to become
our best.
