President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as he clocks 64 years tomorrow, Tuesday March 29, 2016.

President Buhari, in a statement issued by his SA on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adeshina believed the rising political profile of Asiwaju Tinubu since he was elected a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 1992 is a testimony to his forthrightness, diligence and doggedness, the same qualities that had endeared him to the electorates and given him all-round success as a private sector worker, a businessman and two-term Governor of Lagos State.

“As one of the pillars of the APC, President Buhari commends the visionary leadership style of the Asiwaju of Lagos, who is also the Jagaban of the Borgu Kingdom in Niger State, for creating a formidable opposition party in Nigeria that worked vigorously within a short period to oust a party that had been in power for 16 years” the statement stated.

Mr. President assured Tinubu that his patriotism and commitment to democracy and good governance, as well as his generous spirit will always be remembered and appreciated by generations of Nigerians. He wished the former Governor long life, good health, wisdom and prosperity as he steadfastly supports efforts to promote the development of Nigeria.
