Former President, Goodluck Jonathan has congratulated ex-military Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd.), on his 76 birthday.

Jonathan described Abubakar as a great patriot and a man of peace, who “mid-wife” the shortest but most successful transition of power from the military to a democratically elected civilian.

In his goodwill message signed by his Spokesman, Ikechukwu Eze, Jonathan said Nigeria owed Abubakar a debt of gratitude.

He said, “May you be blessed because just as the Muslim Ummah celebrates the end of Ramadan, Nigeria celebrates you for ending military rule.

“On this very special anniversary, I join you, your family, well-wishers and millions of other Nigerians to give thanks to Almighty God for a life of great achievements and inspiring service to humanity.

“Your exemplary patriotism and deep commitment to the development and unity of our nation is evident in your enduring legacies, having served Nigeria as a brave soldier and Head of State; who heeded the call to national duty at a time of distress and helped navigate our dear nation to the democracy which it now enjoys.

“I wish you good health and more productive years so that our great country will continue to benefit from your wisdom and wealth of experience.”

But you spent 5 years there Jonathan , why didn't you think of giving Abubakar what Nigeria owed him then ?

Abdulsalam should is an exemplary leader, the Nelson Mandela of Nigeria although he didn’t go to jail.

He successfully handed over power to civilian, even when he could have acted like Gowon, inn or Abacha.
He even went on to retire from the military after the handover.
And since then he has distant himself from partisan politics.
I love that man’s humility and modesty.
