modesty that we should celebrate every birthday anniversary with
prayers in order for us to thank Allah for all the blessings and

the life of a Nigerian President requires faith, poise, patience,
tenacity, experience, strategic thinking and quality character for
one to get through it.”

the face of many daunting diversions.”

corruption, terrorism and other forms of insecurity in addition to
getting our country out of economic recession.
“It is heartwarming that at 76, in spite of the numerous onerous
challenges of leadership, you have managed to remain focused and
have shown tremendous energy and vibrancy in running the affairs of
state with your acknowledged patriotism and commitment to serve our
nation diligently with honesty and sincerity of purpose.”
“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.”
“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”
