Senator Danladi Sankara has described President Bola Tinubu as champion of democracy in commemoration of the president’s 72nd birthday celebration.
In a statement he personally signed, Senator Sankara, who represented Jigawa North West Senatorial District in the 7th and 9th Senate, chronicled the struggles President Tinubu made with other Nigerians in enthroning democracy in Nigeria in 1999.
“Most of the years spent by President Tinubu before becoming President in May 2023, have been spent on the struggle to enthrone social justice and workable democracy in Nigeria”, he said.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has impacted indelibly in the annals of history of political development of Nigeria.
“We salute him today on the historic occasion of his 72nd birthday”, he said.
He appealed to Nigerians to support the federal government in its efforts to stabilize the nation’s economy for sustainable progress and development.
“Economic reforms for true national development require mass enlightenment and support of the people to achieve the desired objectives.
“Government should involve and carry along all stakeholders and the people at local levels in the process of policy implementation for maximum impact and benefit to the nation”, he added.
