Gov. Oyebanji congratulates Buhari at 80

Biodun Oyebanji, the governor of Ekiti State, thanked President Muhammadu Buhari on his 80th birthday and called him an iconic figure whose influence will live on Nigerians' minds.

The Governor joined other well-meaning Nigerians in praising President Buhari, whom he characterised as an exceptional leader who has served the nation from his youth to his old age without a stain, according to a statement by his special adviser for media, Yinka Oyebode.

He believes President Buhari to be a deserving statesman, a tolerant leader, a selfless patriot, and a leader who is modest enough to take criticism and always willing to consider all points of view.

According to Governor Oyebanji, the President is a global symbol of honesty in leadership, transparency in managing his country's resources, and a champion against corruption whose record in leaving a better Nigeria to future generations is unrivalled in Nigerian history.

The Ekiti Governor noted that President Buhari's election as the country's leader was a turning point in Nigerian politics because it was the first time an opposition leader had deposed an incumbent leader. He added that Buhari's election to a second term was evidence of Nigerians' confidence in his ability and competence.

Governor Oyebanji pointed out that President Buhari has worked hard to handle a difficult and diverse nation like Nigeria and has demonstrated by his words and deeds that he is still devoted to its indivisibility and unity.

He also praised the President for his deliberate leadership, vision, bravery, and persistence in pursuing the just cause and the welfare of all Nigerians.

The governor said, "President Buhari has inscribed his name in the nation's annals for his legacies in infrastructure, social, and economic reforms, as well as for supervising a cleaner and more credible electoral process in which the ballots of the voters count."

He said President Buhari's leadership has given Nigeria and its institutions the assurance they needed to face the country's problems and create the groundwork for long-term success.

The Governor prayed to God to extend the President's life, provide him good health, and grant him success in his future endeavours, pointing out that the country would still want his advice by the time he had graciously left office on May 29, 2023.

“On behalf of my family, the Government and the good people of Ekiti State, we wish our leader and father of the nation a happy 80th birthday and pray that the Lord continue to strengthen him and increase his peace and joy.
