“ Let me use this medium to thank Nigerians and congratulate the President-Elect, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress on his superlative victory in the just concluded presidential elections.As a Zonal Chairman, I am delighted that Asiwaju has despite the numerous challenges thrown his way emerged triumphant.
To me Asiwaju’s victory has rekindled my literary zest and reminds me of Professor Wole Soyinka’s book, ‘The Lion and the Jewel’ in which Nigerians from all walks of life , all over the country like the beautiful Sidi chose to wed competence, experience and performance as against other candidates who campaigned on the basis of ethnicity, religion and regionalism. “
Arodiogbu also described Asiwaju and the APC’s victory as a referendum on the party’s eight-year stay in power, confirming that the party had done well and much deserved another term.
