Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has congratulated former President Goodluck Jonathan on the occasion of his 67th birthday.

The governor’s felicitation was conveyed in a statement on Wednesday.

He said the erstwhile Nigerian leader deserved to be celebrated for his sacrifices toward nation-building and unity.

Mr Oborevwori noted that since leaving office, Mr Jonathan had rendered invaluable service to the nation and the African continent.

He lauded him for his remarkable accomplishments in international pro-peace mediations across Africa.

“On behalf of my family, the government, and people of Delta State, I congratulate our great leader and highly respected elder statesman, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, on the occasion of his 67th birth anniversary,” he said.

The governor noted that as a peacebuilder and unifier in Africa, Mr Jonathan’s commitment to goodwill, fidelity, and humane leadership exemplified the impact of diplomacy and integrity in resolving conflicts and fostering unity.

“Leaders like you, with exemplary leadership style, serve as beacons of hope and inspiration for nations striving for stability and development. 

“As you joyfully celebrate your 67th birth anniversary, we pray that God continues to bless you with abundant health and greater wisdom as you remain steadfast in your service to God and humanity.

“May your life be a testament to the values of compassion and dedication that inspire us all,” he said.
