Senate President, Ahmed Lawan has congratulated Bola Ahmed Tinubu for emerging the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC)

Lawan made this known in a statement he personally signed on Wednesday.

He said he is elated and proud that the presidential primary was manifestly free and fair.

Lawan claimed the success of the event demonstrates the capacity of the APC to run its internal affairs smoothly and devoid of rancour.

He added that he will work for the success of the party in 2023.

Lawan stated that the outcome of the election process has shown that Tinubu is the popular choice and he has no iota of doubt in the wisdom of that decision by the party delegates.

”Your glittering track record of public service, foresight and grit in party building and administration, as well as the courage you continue to demonstrate in fighting for the entrenchment of democracy in Nigeria make you worthy of the high esteem and trust of our party members everywhere in Nigeria as exhibited at the National Convention.

”I have no doubt that with your credentials, experience, antecedents and political sagacity, our great party will go into the 2023 contest confident of victory.”
