President-elect: Olubadan, YCE felicitate with Tinubu 

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Sen. Lekan Balogun, Wednesday,  congratulated Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on his emergence as the President-elect in last Saturday’s presidential election.

Oba Lekan Balogun in a congratulatory message in Ibadan by his Personal Assistant (Media), Oladele Ogunsola, lauded Nigerians for the choice made through their votes. 

The Olubadan lauded the president-elect’s tenacity of purpose, focus, determination and political sagacity which earned him the victory that could only be likened to the pan-Nigerian mandate given to the late Basorun MKO Abiola in 1993, noting that the results of the election clearly showed that the new president was strategic and meticulous in his politics.

“I felicitate Asiwaju on his resounding victory at the poll conducted across the country on Saturday on behalf of my Aliiwo dynasty, my members of the Advisory Council and Ibadan sons and daughters, both at home and in the Diaspora,” he said. 

Also, the Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE) Wednesday congratulated the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate in the last Saturday election, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on his emergence as President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor.

YCE in a statement in Ibadan by its Secretary General, Chief Oladipo Oyewole expressed happiness on the election of Asiwaju Tinubu.

“On behalf of the Yoruba Council of Elders, I hereby express our sincere congratulations to H.E Bola Ahmed Tinubu, The Jagaban Borgu, for his victory at the polls and declaration as President-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he said.
