As the Governor of Sokoto State celebrates his 56th birthday, hosts of prominent Nigerians have felicitated with him, describing him as a man of the masses.
The chief executive of Sokoto State, who is also a former Speaker of the Nigerian lower parliament, has been described as a man at the forefront of transformation in the country.
Joining others in celebrating the governor, the Commissioner for Higher Education in Sokoto State, Prof. Bashir Garba, hailed him for transforming the state since he assumed power in 2015, noting that such a man should be celebrated by all well-meaning Nigerians.
He said at 56, the governor has achieved a lot in private and public life and as governor, he is putting the state first.
“I, therefore, join millions of compatriots to wish Mr. Governor a happy birthday and more years in good health,” Bashir, who is also the former Secretary to the State Governor, said.
On 2023, Bashir described Tambuwal as the best person for the office of President in 2023, adding that he had built bridges and political networks to sway support from every part of the country.
He said the governor will provide credible and good leadership at Nigeria’s presidency come 2023, better than he is currently doing in Sokoto State.
He said, “I urge all Nigerians to support him. He is indeed the best man for the job. He is not tribalistic and open to every part of the country.
“His visionary leadership has seen an amazing transformation of Sokoto State in such a short period of time.
“We can all see what he is doing in Sokoto in terms of good governance. In infrastructural development, quality health service, education, and others, he is doing wonderfully well. I’m sure he will perform better as president.”
