Dr Kayode Fayemi, the former Governor of Ekiti State and Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF), has extended heartfelt birthday wishes to former President, His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari on his 81st birthday.
In a statement on Sunday signed by Mallam Ahmad Sajoh, Head of the Fayemi Media Office, Abuja, Fayemi commended Buhari’s leadership in the service of Nigeria, pointing out that the former president did his best to improve the lives of Nigerians.
“Today, I join the nation in celebrating the 81st birthday of a true statesman, President Muhammadu Buhari.
“As President, HE Buhari was dedicated to the welfare of the Nigerian people and worked tirelessly to advance the nation’s development.
“He became President at a difficult time in our nation’s history, at a time when insecurity was rife with bombings across the country, especially in Abuja, the nation’s capital. However, through his leadership, we witnessed a great turnaround as the insurgency was largely contained, giving Nigerians a respite.
‘’As you celebrate this auspicious occasion, Mr. President, I wish you continued good health, wisdom, and strength. May your remaining days be filled with peace, joy, and satisfaction in the knowledge that you have made an enduring impact on Nigeria’s progress and development,” Fayemi said.
