"What really can we give him in return but only to thank God for his life, but to also commend him to the guidance, protection and the care of God.

"We will continue to pray that Mr President succeeds in this noble course of transforming our dear country."

Special prayers on behalf of the Council were offered by Ministers of Transport and Agriculture, Sen. Idris Umar and Dr Akinwumi Adesina, respectively.

Before cutting the birthday cake, the Council, led by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim, also entrusted the Vice President with a birthday card for onward presentation to the President.
