President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with former President, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, on his 64th birthday anniversary, which falls on November 17, 2021.
In a message on behalf of the government and all Nigerians, President Buhari congratulated Jonathan for serving the country, and working for the peace and advancement of democracy on the African continent.
The President affirmed that Dr. Jonathan continued to expand the boundaries of leadership, teaching many in the country the power of focus, consistency and diligence, having served as Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President, President, African Union Envoy and now, Chairman of the International Summit Council for Peace Africa (ISCP-Africa).
ISCP-Africa is an association of incumbent and former heads of state and their deputies, established in 2019 by the Universal Peace Federation, an organisation in general consultative status with the United Nations (UN).
Sacrifice
President Buhari believes the former President’s profile should remind those in position and all aspiring leaders that serving the country and humanity requires sacrifice, and ultimately placing the interest of others above personal gains.
As Dr. Jonathan turns 64, the President sends warm greetings to him and his family, praying that the Almighty God will continue to sustain them in good health and all round well being.
