ADC chairman Mark congratulates Obasanjo on 89th birthday
The National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Mark, has felicitated former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, on the occasion of his 89th birthday.
This is contained in a statement by his Media Adviser, Paul Mumeh, in Kano on Thursday.
Mr Mark described the former Nigerian leader as a statesman of remarkable courage, discipline and enduring commitment to the unity, stability and progress of Nigeria.
He said that Mr Obasanjo’s decades of service to the nation, both in military and civilian leadership, left an indelible mark on Nigeria’s political history and democratic development.
He stated, “Obasanjo remains one of the most prominent figures in Nigeria’s national journey. His dedication to nation-building, democratic governance and the pursuit of peace and stability in Africa continues to inspire generations of leaders.”
He added that the elder statesman’s wealth of experience, forthright counsel and consistent advocacy for good governance continued to shape national discourse and strengthen democratic institutions.
Mr Mark prayed for God’s continued grace, good health and wisdom for the former President, noting that Nigeria and the African continent still benefit greatly from his leadership experience and statesmanship.
He said “On behalf of the leadership and members of the African Democratic Congress, I congratulate Obasanjo on this remarkable milestone and wish him many more years of sound health, strength and service to humanity.”
