President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday congratulated former President Goodluck Jonathan, rejoicing with him on his 65^th birthday, coming up on Nove. 20, 2022.

The President, in a congratulatory message  by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in Abuja, acknowledged  the unique position of the former president in the growth and development of the nation.

Buhari commended former President Jonathan for sacrificing personal ambition for the greater good of the country, and successfully winning the hearts of Nigerians and the world as a man of peace, by carrying on his legacy of truce and amity to many countries.

President Buhari joined the family, particularly his wife, Patience, and mother, Eunice, in celebrating another milestone in the former president’s life.

The President recalled Jonathan’s political journey, which he said, had been evidently shaped by the mercies and grace of the Almighty God, starting as deputy governor, 1999-2005, governor, 2005 -2007, vice president, 2007-2010 and president, 2010-2015.

According to him, the friendliness, loyalty, and humility of Jonathan continue to open opportunities for service to humanity while defining a path for the former president to invest in people, institutions, and nations.

He, therefore, prayed for Jonathan’s well-being and that of his family.
