Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has described Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as a visionary and transformative leader, as the former Lagos governor turned 68 on Sunday.
In a statement signed by his spokesperson, Laolu Akande, Prof. Osinbajo said Tinubu, a national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has a large and generous heart.
“Today we celebrate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a visionary, transformative leader and patriot. Your exceptional political career and service has inspired millions.
“It is true that few leaders have developed as many leaders from the ranks of their protégés as you have done,” he said.
“Your incredibly large and generous heart, political astuteness and uncommon intellect have become the stuff of legend.
“Today, but for COVID19, we would, as we have done in the past twelve years, celebrated this day with the Bola Tinubu Colloquium, where we do what is your greatest passion, proffering answers to developmental questions. We will by God’s grace still do this and many more.
“I pray for you sir, that as your days, so shall your strength, wisdom and favour be with God, in Jesus name. Happy birthday Asiwaju!
