The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Dele Alake, on Saturday, described President Bola Tinubu as a transformative leader whose vision and courage will leave an indelible mark on history and said Tinubu’s life is a testament to God’s grace.
In a birthday tribute to the President, Alake emphasised that the occasion couldn’t have come at a more auspicious time – coinciding with the end of the holy month of Ramadan, urging Nigerians to accede to the president’s request of celebrating with him by praying for the peace and prosperity of the nation.
He said, “I congratulate my boss, ally, and visionary leader on the occasion of his 73rd birthday anniversary. Indeed, your life’s trajectory is a testament to God’s faithfulness and grace.
“Against the run of play, you surmounted gargantuan obstacles stacked against you and ascended our nation’s highest office nearly 2 years ago.
“Where others before you were hesitant, you took the bull by the horn, championing reforms that are today gradually yielding fruit – declining inflation, reducing food prices and the rapidly improving security situation as a result of your leadership as Commander-In-Chief are pointers to this fact.”
Alake highlighted the enhanced coordination among security agencies, leading to the elimination of terrorists and the neutralization of key bandit leaders, which he attributed to Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to national security.
He added, “As you celebrate 73 years of extraordinary service and impact, may the Almighty grant you continued good health, strength, and wisdom to build the Nigeria of our dreams.
“In deference to your wish, I urge Nigerians of all faiths to use this moment, coinciding with the end of Ramadan, to offer prayers for the country’s prosperity and well-being under your leadership.
“Happy Birthday, Mr. President. May you enjoy many more years of impactful service.”
