Buhari Celebrates Yakubu Gowon On His 85th Birthday by 9jaBlogger: 12:30pm On Oct 18, 2019 |
President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with Nigeria's former head of state and one of the living, General Yakubu Gowon as he turns 85 years tomorrow, Saturday, October 19, 2019. In a statement obtained by Igbere TV issued by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Buhari described Gowon as a living legend and symbol of national unity. He extolled the celebrant for his courage and interest in the “interest” of Nigeria, saying his (Gowon’s) visionary leadership style, wisdom and disciplined outlook had kept the country as one. According to Buhari, Gowon laid a solid foundation for the country to thrive, with the creation of federating units, and implementation of futuristic policies like the famous NYSC. He, therefore, commended the former head of state for “providing wise counsels to leaders, encouraging good governance in Nigeria, and for consistently upholding the nation in prayers.” A copy of the statement issued by Femi Adesina, on behalf of Mr President, is reproduced below by Igbere TV... On behalf of the Federal Executive Council and all Nigerians, President Muhammadu Buhari warmly felicitates with former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, on his 85th birthday, October 19, 2019, describing him as a living legend and symbol of national unity. http://igberetvnews.com/1075724/youre-living-legend-buhari-tells-gen-yakubu-85th-birthday/ 10 Likes 1 Share

Gowon was a soldier not a political statesman. He was very simple.He was faithful to the Northern and Western masters including chief Awolowo unlike Ojukwu who arrogated all power,will,decision, and direction to himself. I wish you long life ..happy birthday to you sir. 23 Likes 1 Share |
