Abuja – President Goodluck Jonathan says the.nation will remain grateful to former Head of State Gen. Yakubu Gowon for “successfully managing and guiding it through an unfortunate civil war’’.
Jonathan said this in Abuja on Saturday in a
congratulatory letter he wrote to Gowon to
celebrate his 80th birthday coming up on
Sunday.
In the letter, signed by the Special Adviser to the
President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben
Abati, Jonathan described the celebrant as a
worthy, steadfast and iconic feature of Nigerian
history.
The president said the country came out of the
war even stronger and more united.
“As you deservedly celebrate this noteworthy
anniversary on Oct. 19, I join your family,
friends, protégés and well-wishers in celebrating
you.
“I also thank Almighty God for the unique and
richly fulfilled life He has blessed you with in
these past 80 years.
“Over the years, you have continued to use your
exalted position to engender bridges of love and
harmony across the country.
“You have never failed to avail successive
governments of your wise counsel.
“You continue to also demonstrate your
unwavering faith and willingness to partner with
us in our quest to bequeath to our collective
posterity, a nation of which we can all be proud.
“Nigeria owes you a huge debt of gratitude,” the
president said.
While wishing Gowon a happy 80th birthday
celebrations, Jonathan also prayed that God
would continue to bless, guide and protect him.

We owe him for the marginalization of the Igbos in the Nigerian State of today.
We owe him for ceding the land mass occupied by the Igbos of Eastern Nigeria to other geopolitical zones, causing a deficit in land mass which is the only geopolical zone with five (5) States in Nigeria.
We owe him for his undue promotion from Lieutenant. Colonel to General.
We owe him for being so daft at the 1967 Aburi accord.
