 #APCPresidentialPrimaries: Read Obasa's Congratulatory Mess

Lagos State Speaker, Obasa

The Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has congratulated Bola Tinubu for clinching the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential ticket for the 2023 general elections.

Obasa made this known in his congratulatory message in Lagos on Wednesday.

Tinubu won the presidential ticket, defeating 13 other aspirants to emerge the flagbearer of the APC at the end of the Special National Convention of the party on Wednesday in Abuja.

The former governor of Lagos state got 1,271 votes to defeat his closest rivals, former minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi with 316 votes and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo who scored 235 votes.

Obasa, while describing Tinubu’s emergence as a well-deserved victory, noted that the former governor of Lagos State won the party’s presidential primary election in a landslide.

The speaker commended the party’s organising committee for organising a free and fair primary, and also hailed other aspirants in the exercise “for putting up a good fight”.

“I also specially commend all those who took the last-minute decision to relinquish their aspiration in support of Tinubu, the father of modern Lagos.

“The outcome of this primary election is the result of hard work and the support of critical stakeholders across the length and breadth of this country who love Tinubu.

“It is interesting and exciting how the exercise, which was held under a peaceful atmosphere, ended.

“This victory is not for Asiwaju alone. It is for our great party. It is for well-meaning Nigerians who aspire for a greater country,” he said.

The speaker called for greater support for the APC presidential candidate as the party approached the next stage of electioneering ahead of 2023.
