Tinubu felicitate with Buhari at 81
President Bola Tinubu has celebrated his friend and ally, former President Muhammadu Buhari, on his 81st birthday.
The President in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, described his predecessor as an icon of truth, justice, and patriotism.
Reeling out former President Buhari’s unparalleled record of infrastructural provision, comprising several new international airports, multiple standard-gauge railway lines, new seaport development, dozens of new dams, power stations, oil and gas infrastructure, expressways and mega-bridges, in addition to establishing Nigeria’s first-ever national social investment and protection programme, amongst many other feats, President Tinubu fondly recalled the former President’s aggressive push to modernize Nigeria’s defence architecture while working towards import substitution with the empowerment of millions of Nigerian farmers in his progressive initiative to enhance food security in the country.
While wishing the elder statesman longevity and strength, President Tinubu assured the former President that the hope of a prosperous, peaceful, and progressive Nigeria, which he has always worked for, will not be dashed.
He added that Buhari is the finest paradigm of sacrifice, devotion, patriotism, and fidelity to the national cause.
