Bola Tinubu  has been named the “Man of the Year” by The Sun newspaper – In his speech, the APC national leader commended Nigerians for providing the bulwark for the unprecedented political change
Bola Tinubu, the national leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), has been named the “Man of the Year” by The Sun newspaper. During the official ceremony held in Lagos on Saturday, February 20, Tinubu commended Nigerians for providing the bulwark for the unprecedented political change.
He stressed that the collective efforts of Nigerians were responsible for the electoral victory of President Muhammadu Buhari.
What was accomplished in 2015 was not a singular effort. It was done through the collective love and labor of millions of Nigerians. A handful of them were well known. Most of them are hardworking anonymous people who together constitute the backbone and great strength of this nation. “God in His wisdom placed me in the position to recognize the change that was needed and to help effectuate that change. I thank God for giving me this chance and for allowing me to be born a black man and a Nigerian,” he said.
Meanwhile, the former president Goodluck Jonathan was named the ‘Person of the Year’ by The African Sun Times. The-ex president expressed gratitude to Africa’s number one and largest newspaper in the USA and noted that Nigerian people were more deserving of this honour.
