“I equally wish to congratulate you on your service to the country and your commitment to oneness and indivisibility of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“On this special occasion, I pray that Almighty Allah grants you many more years to see Nigeria grow and develop beyond all of our wildest dreams.”
