Lawyers of Yoruba extraction under the aegis of Egbe Amofin O’odua (The Yoruba Lawyers Forum) have congratulated Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the winner of the just concluded presidential election.

In a message made available to CITY LAWYER, the umbrella body of Yoruba lawyers stated that “This victory clearly acknowledges your outstanding services and commitment to the nation as well as the trust reposed in you by Nigerians.”

The association noted that Tinubu’s election “comes at a critical stage of our national life when patriotism is at its low ebb,” adding that “Leadership has a job to do than just to choose sides. It must bring sides together.”

Below is the full text of the congratulatory message.

His Excellency,
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
President-Elect,
Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Your Excellency Sir,

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ELECTION AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

As you prepare to take up the responsibilities and challenges of your high office, please accept our warm congratulatory greetings as Egbe Amofin O’odua (The Yoruba Lawyers Forum) on your victory and consequent declaration as President-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria at the recently concluded 2023 presidential elections.

This victory clearly acknowledges your outstanding services and commitment to the nation as well as the trust reposed in you by Nigerians.

Your election comes at a critical stage of our national life when patriotism is at its low ebb and it is our firm belief that being the natural leader that you are, your emergence and government when eventually constituted, will not only chat a new course for the nation economic growth and international relevance, it will further ensure the resurgence of trust, confidence and interest of all citizens in the “project – Nigeria”.

Leadership has a job to do, than just to choose sides. It must bring sides together. To that extent, we commend to you, the words of Martin Luther King (Jnr) thus; “Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sun-lit path of racial (tribal and religious) justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God’s children (Nigerians). Now is the time, to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial (tribal and/or religious) injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.”

We equally appreciate all Nigerians for the decorum and peace substantially maintained during and after the elections.

We wish the President-elect good health, divine wisdom and a successful tenure.

Long live Egbe Amofin O’odua.
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!

Most Sincerely,

Aare Isiaka Abiola Olagunju SAN
Chairman, Egbe Amofin O’odua

Adetunji Osho Esq
Secretary, Egbe Amofin Oodua.
