@70: Buhari extols Tinubu’s leadership, democratic virtues

President Muhammadu Buhari has extolled the leadership and democratic virtues of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, on the occasion of his 70th birthday.

Tinubu will clock 70 on March 29, 2022.

However, Buhari, in congratulatory message issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, saluted the APC chieftain’s courage, resilience, selflessness and nobility in always placing the welfare and unity of the nation above himself.

Adesina stated: “President Buhari affirms the contributions of the party stalwart to the political, economic and social development of the country, setting a standard in leadership, governance and philanthropy.

“As the former Governor of Lagos State turns 70, the President notes and salutes his courage, resilience, selflessness and nobility in always placing the welfare and unity of the nation above self, backed with vision of a greater Nigeria through investments in people, institutions and governments, without minding tribe or creed.

“President Buhari joins family members, friends, business and political associates in celebrating the septuagenarian, who has diligently and progressively risen on the nation’s political ladder since 1992, fighting for democratic rule against many odds, angling for people-focused development and supporting visionary and purposeful leadership.

“The President prays that the Almighty God will increase Asiwaju Tinubu, the Jagaban of Borgu Kingdom, in strength, good health and wisdom to keep serving the nation, and humanity,” the statement read in part.
