Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan, has felicitated with the former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, on the occasion of his 79th birthday.

Lawan, in a statement issued yesterday by his Special Adviser on Media, Ola Awoniyi, rejoiced with his family, friends and numerous well-wishers of the elder statesman on the auspicious occasion.

He said the former Head of State would forever be remembered for his demonstration of uncommon statesmanship and patriotism by quickly guiding Nigeria into the Fourth Republic, which has been our country’s most enduring democratic dispensation.

The Senate President praised General Abubakar’s efforts since his retirement in the promotion of peace, unity and good governance in Nigeria.

He prays to Allah to grant the former number one citizen many more years in good health so that he can continue his selfless service to his fatherland.
