Former military President Ibrahim
Babangida has heaped praises on President Muhammadu Buhari ahead of his 76th
birthday on Monday.
In a statement he personally
signed, Babangida said Buhari has remained focused and shown “tremendous energy
and vibrancy” in running the affairs of Nigeria since 2015.
He also acknowledged Buhari’s
patriotism and commitment to serve the nation diligently with honesty and
sincerity of purpose.
“You have been an excellent role
model to many young aspiring politicians and even to the not-so-young, because
of the way and manner you have managed to sustain the survival of our country
as an indivisible one nation albeit in the face of many daunting diversions,”
he said.
“You achieved great success in
the fight against corruption, terrorism and other forms of insecurity in
addition to getting our country out of economic recession.
“I wish to congratulate you for
all the achievements you have recorded in your lifetime and particularly for
your humility, deep sense of honesty and faith you have shown in the various
aspects of governance, politics and democracy as our President.
” As we get over our
mid-seventies, we can say with all sense of modesty that we should celebrate
every birthday anniversary with prayers in order for us to thank Allah for all
the blessings and the bounties He showered upon us.
“It is only fair that we pause
and reflect in our own different ways on all the life’s challenges we face day
by day and the positive strides we have been blessed to attain.”
“A typical day in the life of a
Nigerian President requires faith, poise, patience, tenacity, experience,
strategic thinking and quality character for one to get through it.
“I join the first lady, Aisha and
all your children and grandchildren in wishing you many happy returns of your
birthday.
“Aisha’s loyalty and support, as
the home front commander, is invigorating since by our age we require much
comfort, care and affection at home. Welcome to our club of the over 75.”
