Reno, you have truly proven yourself to be a dedicated and patriotic Nigerian since you stepped up to serve the nation at this level, you’ve left the Obidients with nothing but empty barking and your focus and courage speak louder than their tantrums ever could.

Asiwaju has a very big heart. He rewarded one of his fiercest critics and a virtue any aspiring leader should emulate. Congratulations, Reno! I celebrate and rejoice with you, and I have no doubt in your ability and competence to represent Nigeria.
