“I congratulate Asiwaju Tinubu on his victory at our party primaries and his emergence as the presidential candidate and flagbearer of our great party, the APC for the forthcoming 2023 presidential elections.

“I also congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari and all leaders of the APC for a successful Special Convention and Presidential Primary.

“His sterling contributions to our democracy and its progress stand him out; his wealth of experience will certainly be critical in our party’s continued efforts to attain a more secure and prosperous Nigeria.

“To all members of our great party, regardless of who you voted for at the primaries, we must now unite behind our presidential candidate and flagbearer to ensure victory for our party in the 2023 elections.
