Breaking! Traditional Worshippers Write Tinubu Over 2023 Presidential Election Results
Traditional Religion Worshippers under the aegis of International Forum of Araba/Oluawo (Ajo Awon Araba/Oluawo L’Agbaye) have written to Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Tinubu, following his victory at the just concluded presidential election.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) last week announced Tinubu as the February 25th presidential election winner. The commission chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, subsequently issued a certificate of return to the former Governor of Lagos State.
On Monday, March 6, the traditional worshipper’s forum in a letter reportedly signed by its Secretary, Araba (Dr) Kunle Bamisaye, congratulated Tinubu and the ruling party for the outcome of the polls.
The forum applauded Tinubu for his doggedness, sacrifices, maturity and sense of patriotism before, during and after the elections.
“His Eminence, Araba Awodotun Owolabi Aworeni, the Araba Agbaye Olu-lsese, the Trustees and members of International Forum of Araba/Oluawo, as well as all other traditional religion worshippers, join millions of your teeming well-wishers to heartily congratulate and rejoice with you on your election victory and your eventual declaration as the President-Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” their message read.
It added: “Knowing your pedigree for hard work, rugged determination and unalloyed love for your fatherland which made you stand shoulder-high above other contenders, your eventual resounding victory at the election is therefore highly expected.
“We look forward with great expectation to the day you will assume office as the Executive President of this great nation to provide us with the good governance that Nigeria craves for as a young democracy where the unique socio-cultural values of Nigeria will be given the deserved pride of place. Congratulations Your Excellency!”
