Nigeria Has Benefited from Personal Sacrifices, Political Experience of Tinubu – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has asserted that Nigeria has benefitted from personal sacrifices and political experiences of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, on his 65th birthday.

Buhari stated this in a congratulatory message issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Tuesday in Abuja.

“I joined all members of the APC, political and business associates of the Asiwaju of Lagos, his friends and family, in celebrating another milestone in the life of the great leader”, he said.

Buhari prayed that the almighty God would grant the Asiwaju good health, longer life and more wisdom to serve his country and humanity.

The president noted that Tinubu’s foray into politics had ushered in a better understanding of building consensus to achieve historical feats, like unseating an incumbent government.

He said: “Tinubu has 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.”

The president recalled his “pleasant and intellectually enriching encounters” with Mr. Tinubu over the years.

According to him, as the former two-term governor of Lagos State turns 65, the nation still stands to gain more from him.

He also re-affirmed that the nation had benefitted “a lot from the personal sacrifices, political experience and intellectual foresight of the APC chieftain”.
