A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has described Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a reformer.

Eulogising the APC national leader in a statement yesterday, Ize-Iyamu said: “Asiwaju Tinubu is a versatile politician with a vast political structure carefully built on an ideology that, at the core, holds that the government exists to create conditions that allow the many to live meaningful lives and fulfil potential.”

He recalled his years of working with the former Lagos State government and extolled his forbearance, organisational prowess and rare ability to handle setbacks without loss of motivation or a feeling of bitterness.

Ize-Iyamu said: “Asiwaju Tinubu is 68 years old today. The leader of men and political icon of modern Nigeria politics has a lot to be grateful for, and proud of, in his over six decades of existence – a no mean feat considering the average life span and expectancy.

“There is nothing to be written about Asiwaju that has not already been said by spectators and admirers across the globe. His heroics and personal sacrifice when Nigeria duelled against powerful forces that tried to take away our democracy and free choice; his exemplary work as the builder of modern Lagos and the transformation of the state into the shining city atop a hill; his vast political structure carefully built on an ideology that, at the core, holds that the government exists to create the conditions that allow the many to lead meaningful lives and fulfil potential are all facts attested to by a global audience.”
