President Muhammadu Buhari has showered encomiums on Mamman
Daura, his nephew, describing him as journalist and public administrator who
is “needlessly misunderstood” by
critics.
In a statement Garba Shehu, his spokesman, issued on his
behalf, Buhari said Daura is worthy of being celebrated.
The president said at 81, Daura is a veteran of Nigeria’s
political history and active participant in its development”.
He said Daura has lived a worthy life.
“Daura’s experience
is not unusual because many great men are not appreciated, which stems from the
cynical obsession of many of his critics,” the president said.
“To be just and fair-minded in the assessment of public
figures like Mamman Daura whose contributions to the development of the country
overshadow perceived flaws.
“A veteran of Nigeria’s political history and active
participant in its development ,a dedicated public servant, consummate
administrator, and one of our worthiest gentlemen who is widely misunderstood
by so many.”
Buhari commended Daura for his vast experience and knowledge
in public administration, saying “it’s impossible to sit down with Daura
without gaining from his vast experience, knowledge and wisdom.”
“As you celebrate the ripe age of 81, may Allah bless you
with better health and longer life in the service of Nigeria and mankind. You
are a fountain of inspiration and an inexhaustible reservoir of knowledge. We
are proud of your invaluable support,” he said.
“I wish you more abundant blessings from God. Happy
birthday.”
