President Bola Ahmed Tinubu President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

The youth leader of the All Progressives Congress in the United Kingdom, Olumide Awoyemi has expressed optimism that the newly sworn-in president of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu will turn the situation of things around for good in the country.

The PUNCH reports that Tinubu alongside his running mate, Kashim Shettima took the oath of office on Monday, May 29, 2023, in an elaborate ceremony held at the Eagles’ square in Abuja.

Speaking with our correspondent, Awoyemi said, “I have no doubt whatsoever about Asiwaju’s capabilities to turn things around for good in areas of governance, where the outgoing administration may have been inadequate, and consolidate on the visible gains of the outgoing administration.

“Though the task ahead of him is onerous and herculean, I believe Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu measures up to the task.

His track record as the former chief executive of Lagos State attests to this and s his deep knowledge of the political process inspires a great deal of confidence in me. Reflections about him by his aids while he served as Lagos State governor shows that he is a fastidious and demanding leader who can attract and deploy competent hands to administer functions of the State in all sectors.

“On the Political side of things, Asiwaju’s Progressive and cosmopolitan outlook is an important asset that would serve him well on the job at hand. I expect an inclusive Government that alienates no one.”

Tinubu took over from former president, Major General Muhammadu Buhari(retd) on Monday, May 29, 2023, the old general whom he helped make president in 2015.
