President Bola Tinubu says his victory in the 2023 election could be attributed to his stint in National Assembly during the aborted Third Republic.
Tinubu represented Lagos Central District on the platform of the Social Democratic Party during the botched third Republic.
He served as a Senator from December 5, 1992, till November 17, 1993, when the Third Republic collapsed following the seizure of power by Gen Sani Abacha from the Chief Earnest Adegunle Shonekan-led Interim National Government.
Tinubu, who spoke at the inauguration of the old ‘Nigeria, We Hail Thee’ anthem at a joint sitting of the Senate and House of Representatives in Abuja on Wednesday, urged the lawmakers to build and sustain the nation’s democracy.
According to him, “Without this House (parliament), probably, I may not have found the path to the Presidency. It started all here. Please, continue to collaborate and work together. We have no other choice. It is our nation.”
