The president expressed the the belief that as the royal father turns an octogenarian, his repertoire of wisdom, many years of experience in handling multi-cultural issues, and the network of friends he has acquired across the country, and the globe, will be most useful in the current drive to reposition the country for greater glory.
Buhari prayed that the Almighty God will grant Oba Tejouso longer life and good health to continue serving his people and the country.
