President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated former Lagos State Governor and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his 65th birthday.
This is contained in a press statement signed by Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina.
“President Buhari joins all members of the APC, political and business associates of the Asiwaju of Lagos, his friends and family, in celebrating another milestone in the life of the great leader, whose foray into politics ushered in a better understanding of building consensus to achieve historical feats, like unseating an incumbent government.
As he turns 65 years, the President believes the Asiwaju raised the bar for many political leaders across the country as a two-term governor of Lagos State, and also bequeathed a style of leadership that completely altered the landscape of the commercial capital,” the statement read in part.
The President recalled his ‘pleasant and intellectually enriching’ encounters with the Jagaban of Borgu Kingdom over the years, affirming that the nation has benefitted a lot from the personal sacrifices, political experience and intellectual foresight of the APC chieftain, and still stands to gain more.
President Buhari prayed that the almighty God will grant the Asiwaju good health, longer life and more wisdom to serve his country and humanity.
