President Bola Tinubu has felicitated with his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, on the occasion of his 82nd birthday.
Buhari, who handed over the affairs of the country to Tinubu in 2023, is celebrating his birthday in Daura, his country home.
Tinubu reflected on Buhari’s years of service and leadership, which, according him, have significantly shaped the course of the nation.
“Your steadfast commitment to Nigeria’s advancement and unity inspires many, and your enduring legacy continues to guide our nation’s journey towards prosperity and stability,” Tinubu said in a statement he signed and made available to the press.
“Your doggedness and resilience in contesting presidential elections in 2003, 2007, and 2011 before winning them in 2015 and 2019 also inspire us never to give up.
“I will continue to build on the infrastructure legacy you bequeathed to our nation as the leader of our country’s first All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
“On this special day, may you be surrounded by the love of your family and friends and continue to enjoy good health, happiness, and fulfilment in all your endeavours, now and in the future.”
