President Muhammadu Buhari warmly felicitates with the national leader of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as he
clocks 64 years on March 29, 2016.
The President believes the rising political profile of Asiwaju Tinubu
since he was elected a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 1992
is a testimony to his forthrightness, diligence and doggedness, the same
qualities that had endeared him to the electorate and given him all-round
success as a private sector worker, a businessman and two-term Governor of
Lagos State.
As one of the pillars of the APC, President Buhari commends the visionary
leadership style of the Asiwaju of Lagos, who is also the Jagaban of the
Borgu Kingdom in Niger State, for creating a formidable opposition party
in Nigeria that worked vigorously within a short period to oust a party
that had been in power for 16 years.
The President assures the national leader that his patriotism and
commitment to democracy and good governance, and his generous spirit will
always be remembered and appreciated by generations of Nigerians.
He prays that the Almighty God will grant the Asiwaju long life, good
health, wisdom and prosperity as he steadfastly supports efforts to
promote the development of Nigeria.
