Jonathan@65: You sacrificed personal ambition for Nigeria ― Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated former President Goodluck Jonathan on his 65th birthday slated for November 20, saying the latter sacrificed his personal ambition for the greater good of Nigeria.

Buhari, in a congratulatory message by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, on Saturday, hailed Jonathan over his unique position in the growth and development of the country.

The President further lauded his predecessor for successfully winning the hearts of Nigerians and the world as a man of peace by carrying on his legacy of truce and amity to many countries.

President Buhari recalled Jonathan’s political journey, which he said, has been evidently shaped by the mercies and grace of God, starting as Deputy Governor, 1999-2005, Governor, 2005 -2007, Vice President, 2007-2010, and President, 2010-2015.

According to him, the friendliness, loyalty, and humility of Jonathan continue to open opportunities for service to humanity while defining a path for the former president to invest in people, institutions, and nations.

He, therefore, prayed for Jonathan’s well-being and that of his family.
