President Muhammadu Buhari has rejoiced with former President, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, on his 65th birthday today, 20 November, 2022.
Buhari, in a statement by his media aide, Femi Adesina noted the unique position of Jonathan in the growth and development of the nation, sacrificing personal ambition for the greater good of the country and successfully winning the hearts of Nigerians and the world as a man of peace by carrying on his legacy of truce and amity to many countries.
The President joined the family, particularly his wife, Patience and mother, Eunice, in celebrating another milestone in the former President’s life.
He recalled Jonathan’s political journey which has been evidently shaped by the mercies and grace of the Almighty God, starting as deputy governor from 1999-2005, governor from 2005 -2007, vice president from 2007-2010 and president from 2010-2015.
According to him, the friendliness, loyalty and humility of Jonathan continue to open opportunities for service to humanity while defining a path for the former president to invest in people, institutions, and nations.
He, therefore, prayed for Jonathan’s well-being and that of his family.
