President Bola Tinubu has honored to his predecessor Muhammadu Buhari on his 82nd birthday and said his government will keep on expanding on the last’s heritage.
Tinubu portrayed Buhari whom he assumed control over the reins of office in 2023 as a dogged person who rouses others never to give up on their dreams.
“Your doggedness and resilience in contesting presidential elections in 2003, 2007, and 2011 before winning them in 2015 and 2019 also inspire us never to give up,” President Tinubu said in a personal proclamationhe issued on Tuesday.
“I will continue to build on the infrastructure legacy you bequeathed to our nation as the leader of our country’s first All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.” President Tinubu added
Tinubu said Buhari’s birthday is an opportunity to consider the Katsina-born ex-president’s “years of dedicated service and leadership, which have essentially formed the course of our nation.
“Your unflinching commitment to Nigeria’s advancement and unity inspires many, and your enduring legacy continues to direct our nation’s journey toward prosperity and stability.”
“On this special day, may you be surrounded by the love of your family and friends and continue to enjoy good health, happiness, and fulfilment in all your undertakings, now and in the future,” Tinubu expressed. “Happy Birthday, and thank you for your services to Nigeria.”
Buhari handed power over to Tinubu in May 2023 after spending eight years in power. Both are of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) that finished the rule of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which started in 1999.
