Presidential elect Tinubu risked his life for Nigeria Democracy – Sanwo-Olu

Bola Tinubu allegedly “risked his life” for Nigerian democracy, according to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

He said this in a message to Tinubu on Wednesday in honor of his 71st birthday.

Gboyega Akosile, his chief press secretary, signed the statement.

As a “visionary, consistent, devoted, and enigmatic master strategist,” Sanwo-Olu praised the governor of Lagos.

Part of the speech read:

“It is also on record that he stood firmly on the side of the Nigerian people, even at the risk of losing his life and personal belongings during the dark days of the military junta.”

“He fought tirelessly with other progressives and pro-democracy activists during the annulment of the June 12 struggle to end the military interregnum and enthrone democracy, which we all enjoy today.”
