President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on his 69th birthday, which comes up Monday.
A statement issued by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity), on Sunday, said Buhari shares the joyous occasion with the chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), “whose acumen and influence continue to resonate around the country and beyond.”
The statement said President Buhari rejoiced with the “patriot and statesman” on the 12th colloquium, an intellectual gathering to commemorate his birthday, that had over the years turned into a veritable opportunity for discussing topical national issues, and harnessing ideas that will move the nation forward.
It said looking at the theme of the 12th Bola Tinubu Colloquium, “Our Common Bond, Our Common Wealth: Imperative of National Cohesion for Growth and Prosperity’’, President Buhari believed the choice of further highlighting loyalty to the country and the shared vision that will bring harmony and well-being to everyone is most timely, clearly reflecting Sen. Tinubu’s patriotism and benevolence.
The President affirmed that the former Lagos governor has inspired many leaders and continues to nurture talents for the benefit of the country, while acknowledging his role in the stability of the APC, and advocating good governance.
Buhari felicitated with family, friends and political associates of the “astute politician,” praying that God will grant him longer life, good health and more wisdom.
