The Nigerian Law School (NLS) class of 2012, under the aegis of Friends of Seyi Tinubu, has congratulated the President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu for emerging victorious in the 2023 presidential election and getting sworn in as the 16th president and commander-in-chief of the Armed forces of Nigeria.

According to the group, Tinubu’s ascension to the seat of the presidency of Africa’s largest democracy is timely, considering the fact that the country is currently passing through one of the most challenging times in recent history bearing in mind the prevailing economic and security challenges bedeviling the nation.

In a statement endorsed by Olayinka Jimoh, Hakeem Babalola Garba, Uche Udiele and Ali Usman, the lawyers said: “We are confident that your excellency possesses the experience, capacity, intelligence, doggedness, courage and the political will to turn around the fortunes of this country, considering your track record of excellence in the stewardship of Lagos State, arguably the most complex state in Nigeria.”

Continuing, the group said: “We equally rejoice with our friend, colleague and brother, Seyi Tinubu, on the well-deserved political attainment of his amiable father.”

They informed that during their time together at the Lagos Campus of the Nigerian Law School from 2011 to 2012, Seyi displayed a very rare level of humility, kindness and cool-headedness despite being the scion of one of the most remarkable political leaders in the country.

“We pray to the Almighty God to bless his excellency and his team with the best of health and sound wisdom to sail the ship of our dear country on the path of peace and development,” they prayed.
