Immediate past President of the Senate, David Mark, has showered encomiums on former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan on his 60th birthday anniversary.
In a congratulatory message sent to the former president yesterday, through a statement by his media assistant, Paul Mume, Mark commended Jonathan for showing leadership and courage in the interest of the corporate existence of Nigeria when it mattered.
Mark noted that Jonathan’s “humane and patriotic actions during and after the 2015 general elections added value to the sustainable democracy in the country today.”
He pointed out that several international engagements and responsibilities being extended to Jonathan by the international community since he vacated office was a testimony that he left a credible legacy.
Mark, therefore, urged Jonathan to remain “steadfast and focused as a statesman who will be willing to contribute to national development in Nigeria and Africa.”
He prayed God to grant Jonathan peace, good health and wisdom in the years ahead.
