Former Deputy President of the Senate and Delta Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 general elections, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has felicitated former President Muhammadu Buhari on occasion of his 81st birthday.
In a congratulatory message personally signed by him, Omo-Agege extolled the ex-President’s contribution to national development and growth.
Obarisi Omo-Agege stated that Buhari is a reference point for patriotic and unblemished public leadership on the African continent, noting that there is consensus virtually everywhere that his integrity is exemplary in all ramifications.
“Former President Buhari is a man of clean honour. He is a symbol of unblemished public leadership on the African continent. His life of personal integrity, progressive commitment to the cause of the masses and downtrodden, and his extraordinary commitment to the development and modernisation of our national public infrastructure will forever distinguish him in history as a great statesman.
“On behalf of our people whom he did so much for as President, we send our sincere felicitations and best wishes and thank former President Buhari for his selfless service to humanity and our nation as he clocks 81 years in his continuing blessed and honourable earthly journey,” he said.
