How Babatunde Fashola Praised Tinubu At His 64th Birthday
Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola has praised APC’s National Leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying the change Nigerians are experiencing was orchestrated by him, by making his party, APC, defeat a party who had ruled Nigeria for 16years. Fashola made the statement at the colloquium held in Tinubu’s honour in Abuja, on Tuesday. Hear him;
“It was dangerous for Nigeria to keep that administration for another term and the evidence of that was before us. The country was falling apart. You must salute the courage, the passion, the foresight of Asiwaju to reach across and say ‘let us forge a partnership to save Nigerians, to save ourselves’.”
The minister added, “On whether or not there could be a merger, everyone said it wasn’t going to happen, it had never happened in the history of Nigeria and as far as that was concerned, it (the merger) was a victory that the impossible had become not only probable but possible and that was due to Asiwaju’s self conviction and, as I said, his ability to mobilise people and materials behind an idea.”
