THE Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has congratulated President Bola Tinubu on his 73rd birthday anniversary, describing him as a quintessential politician, democrat and rare leader.
The Managing Director of NRC, Dr Kayode Opeifa, made the description in a congratulatory message to the President on Sunday.
A copy of the massage was made available to newsmen in Lagos.
Opeifa said that Tinubu deserved commendations for his contributions to politics, governance, economy and the development of Lagos State and Nigeria at large.
Opeifa said that Tinubu’s democratic credentials remained unassailable.
“On behalf of my immediate family, I congratulate our leader and benefactor, President Bola Tinubu, on his 73rd birthday anniversary.
“President Tinubu, for the greater part of his adult life, sold himself out completely in service to humanity, Lagos State and Nigeria in particular.
“He is passionate about the growth and development of the country.
“He is a democrat and an advocate of good governance, who always teams up with other pro-democracy groups and individuals for positive change and the development of Nigeria’s democracy,” he said.
Opeifa said that Tinubu’s position as the father of modern Lagos, was unassailable.
“His tenure as the first Governor in the present Fourth Republic changed the story of Lagos positively,” he said.
He added that Tinubu’s financial engineering and shrewd economics were not only felt in Lagos State, but reverberating at present across the country.
He said that the Renewed Hope Agenda of Tinubu’s administration was birthing changes across all sectors of the nation’s economy.
He said under the Tinubu administration, the NRC was witnessing a transformation.
“President Tinubu is a detribalised Nigerian who accommodates every section of the country.
“ In his less than two years as President, he has delivered dividends of democracy and good governance to every part of Nigeria through his Renewed Hope Agenda.
“Since assuming office, the President has demonstrated unparalleled patriotism, integrity, honesty and courage in the task of nation-building, steering the ship of Nigeria in the right direction,” he said.
The NRC boss also said that Tinubu had provided honest and transparent leadership in Nigeria by taking bold decisions and implementing the right policies to address the country’s economic challenges.
“As our leader turns 73, we pray that God will continue to give him strength, wisdom and good health to continue to serve and direct the affairs of our country toward political and economic prosperity,” he said.
