The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has congratulated Nigerians for witnessing the beginning of 2017.
According to him, the past year was of great challenges that will culminate into a better year.
"The last year witnessed a lot of sacrifices on the path of Nigerians. The government of APC is mindful. It is the necessary pain before the gain. As we move into a new year the pains will ease off in certain areas as the policies and initiatives of the Buhari-led government begin to yield needed relief and dividends.
Asiwaju Tinubu said we had begun on a journey and a path of sacrifice not of our choosing but brought upon us all because a few chosen to lead have led without vision, compunction or compassion.
"Now that we have a leadership that is committed, focused and people oriented we must align to make Nigeria work. We are a people blessed by God and destined to be great. The path to greatness is often not smooth. But I am confident that Nigeria will arrive and fulfill her manifest destiny.
"Let us all in 2017 pray and hope for a new country where feeding and shelter will not be a challenge and more of our people will find work to do".
Happy new year and God bless our nation.
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
