As President Bola Tinubu marks his first year in office, former President Muhammadu Buhari has extended his heartfelt congratulations and best wishes.
Tinubu, who succeeded Buhari as Nigeria’s president following the February 25, 2023 general elections, was sworn in on May 29, 2023, alongside his deputy, Kashim Shettima. Tinubu will mark his first anniversary in office on Wednesday (tomorrow).
In a statement signed by Buhari’s spokesperson, Garba Shehu, on Tuesday, the former president highlighted the significance of this milestone and stressed the importance of unity and support from all Nigerians.
Titled “One Year of Tinubu Administration: Ex-President Buhari Conveys Good Wishes to President,” the statement urged citizens to continue fostering national unity and goodwill, emphasizing that collective effort is crucial for the success of the Tinubu administration.
“Former President Muhammadu Buhari extends his best wishes to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the completion of his first year in office. The former president appealed to all citizens to continue to strengthen the thread of national unity and goodwill,” the statement read.
Buhari also called on the public to offer their blessings and unwavering support to Tinubu, reinforcing his hope for a successful tenure and his confidence in Tinubu’s leadership and vision for the country.
“President Buhari expressed his wish for a successful tenure in office by the Tinubu administration,” the statement added.
Buhari, like Tinubu, was elected president under the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC), and served two successive terms from 2015 to 2023.
