President Muhammadu Buhari has
felicitated with Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, on his 85th birthday, July
13, 2019.
Buhari in a statement by his
Special Adviser on (Media & Publicity) Femi Adesina rejoiced with the
literary icon for being one of the country’s greatest prides, and a universal
brand.
The statement reads, ” Buhari
joins family and friends of the cerebral academic in celebrating the many years
of laudable achievements, recognitions, awards, and consistency, all which have
cumulated in pride to Nigerians, Africans and the black race.
”The President salutes Prof
Soyinka for his intellectual momentum, interventions on state issues and polity
through articles and comments, penchant for justice, and persistence in holding
leaders to account.
”As he clocks 85, President
Buhari affirms that Prof Soyinka’s lifestyle sends a message to all Nigerians
and Africans, especially the younger generation, that real success is measured
by the intangibles of courage and impact brought to the life of others, rather
than pursuit of personal interests.
”Buhari congratulates the
literary giant for projecting Nigerian and African values to the world, wishing
him more years of health, wisdom and service to the nation and humanity.”
