President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday congratulated former President Goodluck Jonathan on his 60th birthday. The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adeshina in a statement to newsmen in Abuja said his principal on behalf of the Federal Executive Council prays that God will continue to bless the former leader with good health and wisdom.
The statement read in part;
"The President on behalf of the FEC joins members of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), professional colleagues, associates of Dr Jonathan, and his family in celebrating the unique history of the Nigerian leader, who within a short period rose from being a Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President to becoming Nigeria’s President for six years.
President Buhari believes Dr Jonathan’s foray into politics and ascendency to the highest political office in Nigeria from a humble riverine background testifies to the greatness and inclusiveness of Nigeria’s democracy, and serves as an invitation to all those with interest to add value to the nation."
“President Buhari prays that the almighty God will bless Dr Jonathan with good health, wisdom and strength to continue serving the country,” he added.
The former President will turn 60 on Monday, November 20, 2017.
