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.
