Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, Ph.D, and his Deputy, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, have separately rejoiced with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his 72nd birthday.
Speaker Abbas, in a congratulatory message to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, noted that he has dedicated his life to the service of the country and humanity, describing him as “a grandmaster of progressive politics.”
While noting that President Tinubu gets better with age, Abbas said Nigerians would soon rate his administration as one of the best the country has ever had.
“I wish His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a happy birthday. While it is his desire, as a passionate leader, that his birthday celebrations should be low-key, it is also an attestation to his selfless leadership style, which we are all emulating.
“Nevertheless, we can’t but express our admiration for a man who is willing and on the verge of transforming the socio-political and economic conditions of our country. It is our prayer that the Almighty Allah continues to strengthen him, grant him the grace and the wisdom to navigate our dear country out of the current turbulence,” Speaker Abbas said.
Also in his message, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu applauded President Tinubu for his obvious pragmatic moves that are now gradually helping the economy to rebound, congratulating the president on his birthday, and expressed optimism of a virile economy and a future that will raise the living standard of Nigerians.
