President Buhari congratulates Bola Tinubu as he turns 65 tomorrow, says Nigerians have benefitted a lot from his personal sacrifices

President Buhari has extended his warm felicitation to former Lagos

State Governor and national leader of the All Progressives Congress

(APC), Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on the occassion of his 65th birthday

which comes up tomorrow.



In a stament released by his media aide, Femi Adesina today, President

Buhari referred to Tinubu as a "great leader, whose foray into

politics ushered in a better understanding of building consensus to

achieve historical feats, like unseating an incumbent government".



President Buhari said as Tinubu turns 65 years old, he believes the

Asiwaju raised the bar for many political leaders across the country

as a two-term governor of Lagos State, and also bequeathed a style of

leadership that completely altered the landscape of the commercial

capital.



Recalling his pleasant and intellectually enriching encounters with

the Jagaban of Borgu Kingdom over the years, President Buhari

re-affirmed that the nation has benefitted a lot from the personal

sacrifices, political experience and intellectual foresight of the APC

chieftain, and still stands to gain more.



He prayed that the almighty God will grant the Asiwaju good health,

longer life and more wisdom to serve his country and humanity.
