The story of Tambuwal is the story of courage and resilience. His enviable impacts and indelible reputation as Speaker of Federal House of Representatives in the defunct 7th Assembly truly showed that our democracy has come of age with such man of high integrity, vision and purpose.
Your steady progress did not just start today, those of us who knew you from college and National Assembly would not easily forget that leadership qualities in you.
Today as Executive Governor of Sokoto State there are convictions in the minds of the core progressives that our democracy is truly yielding desired results. Here is a man who on many instances had demonstrated his love for Nigeria above pecuniary interest and taught others to embrace same.
Looking back over the past 50 years, I am sure that you, your family and indeed your larger family of associates and admirers do have cause to be grateful to Almighty God for having granted you a life of great accomplishment and abiding fulfilment.
Out of my personal convictions, I write to express my warm felicitations to you on the landmark occasion of your 50th birthday anniversary. As you deservedly celebrate this glorious day, it is my prayer that Almighty God, who has richly prospered you and ordered your every step this past half century, will continue to bless you with good health and fulfillment in the many more years of worthy service ahead of you.
Congratulations to His Excellency at 50. I wish you best of luck in your political endeavours and may all your efforts work in your favour and that of our party, All Progressives Congress.
