The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has congratulated the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, on his 66th birthday.

Tinubu, in a statement issued over the weekend by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, described Mustapha as “an asset to Nigeria”.

He stated: “Today, I join family, friends and associates of Mr. Boss Mustapha, a distinguished lawyer, politician and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, in congratulating him on turning 66.

“Boss Mustapha and I have come a long way as friends and close associates on the progressive front. We were both founding leaders of our defunct Action Congress and he was of those who did tremendous work that led to the merger of progressive forces across the country which produced the All Progressives Congress.

“Boss Mustapha is a democrat and patriot who is irrevocably committed to not only the growth and development of Nigeria but also the good of the country.

“He has impressive work ethics. His leadership qualities and capacity to work relentlessly for worthy causes is very high indeed.

“It is not surprising that he has performed the huge responsibility entrusted in him as SGF and not long ago as Chairman Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 with excellence.

In the same vein, Tinubu has felicitated prominent newspaper publisher and politician, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyawu, on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

“Over the decades, Chief Iwuanyawu has demonstrated his love for Nigeria and unity of our country with wide network of friends across ethnic, religious and geopolitical divides.

“To reach the respectable age of 80 in good health is a special privilege which only God can make possible.
