Tinubu congratulates Jonathan on 68th birthday
President Bola Tinubu has congratulated former President Goodluck Jonathan on his 68th birthday, praising his enduring statesmanship.
The congratulatory message was conveyed in a statement by presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, on Thursday.
Mr Tinubu said the former president’s diplomatic engagements, particularly in promoting democratic values across Africa, continued to inspire leaders on the continent.
”The president joins family, friends, and political associates to celebrate the former president on this special occasion and for his contributions to nation-building,” said the statement.
He acknowledged the simplicity and humility that shaped Jonathan’s leadership style and noted his historic concession in the 2015 presidential election.
The president said that moment strengthened Nigeria’s democracy and elevated the nation’s global standing.
Mr Tinubu also recalled his past engagements with Jonathan and the support and counsel that shaped political developments in 2010 and during the 2011 presidential election. He prayed for the well-being of the former president, his wife, Patience Jonathan, and their family.
