| Chief Olusegun Obasanjo |
PRESIDENT Mohammadu Buhari has felicitated with a former
President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo who clocks 79 on Saturday.
In a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on
Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, the President eulogized the former President
stating that he has contributed immensely to the growth of the nation’s
democracy and Africa at large.
“The President warmly commends Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s
vision and commitment to the growth of Nigeria and Africa, which translated
into a historical growth rate of six per cent for the Nigerian economy after a
long period of slow growth, and also created a rippling effect that buoyed
other African economies.
“As he turns 79, the President avers that the former
President’s regular shuttles across Nigeria and Africa to counsel on economic,
social and political issues, and his willingness to head election monitoring
teams that have heralded smooth transitions in many countries are legacies
which generations will remain grateful”, President Buhari said.
