Tinubu celebrates former President Obasanjo at 89

President Bola Tinubu felicitated former President and elder statesman, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, on his 89th birthday on March 5.

The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, made Tinubu’s birthday message available.

Onanuga said the President rejoiced with Chief Obasanjo, whose towering influence in the country, Africa, and beyond is significant.

He noted the courage and sacrifices of the elder statesman, who previously served the nation as military Head of State from 1976 to 1979, handing over power to a civilian president in 1979, and later as the first civilian president in the Fourth Republic from 1999 to 2007.

President Tinubu affirmed the historic experiences of the former leader, including leading troops to preserve Nigeria’s unity at the warfront, serving time in prison for speaking out against tyranny, and consistently pursuing Africa’s political and economic interests.

As Chief Obasanjo turns 89, the President acknowledged the zeal and wisdom he has brought into Nigeria’s development process through his books and regular interventions, revealing a depth of patriotism to nation-building.
