Former Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, has expressed his reasons why he considered the 71st birthday of newly elected Nigeria President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as unique.
The current Minister of Interior joined others on Twitter to felicitate with the APC Chieftain, highlighting three reasons for the uniqueness of Tinubu’s new age.
As contained in his statement released earlier today, Aregbesola considered Tinubu’s 71st birthday as the year he reached the climax of his political aspiration, which is his emergence as the President of Nigeria- a reward for his political resilience, sagacity, and tenacity.
“Your 71st birthday anniversary is unique because of the following;
“A climax of political aspiration and attainment.
“A remarkable milestone in life and a sign of divine grace.
“A testimony to political resilience, sagacity and tenacity.” Aregbesola highlighted.
While emphasizing on the importance of age in Yoruba’s perception of leadership , Aregbesola lauded Tinubu’s life as a memorable one which the new president ought to be grateful of.
“You must indeed be eternally grateful to almighty Allah for his immeasurable support and mercy in your life.
“Your life is memorable; it is therefore important to emphasize Yoruba ethos of leadership for reflection. Age is the essential qualification for leadership in our clime.” He stressed further.
