Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Governor of Lagos State, congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on his 80th birthday, describing him as a man who is never found to be corrupt.
Sanwo-Olu in a statement on Friday by his Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile, said President Buhari’s unblemished service in public office has made him a role model to many Nigerians.
“Despite the juicy positions he has held in the military and other public offices at state, regional, national, and international levels over the last 50 years,” Sanwo-Olu said.
The governor stated that Buhari has provided honest and transparent leadership in the country, adding that the President has demonstrated unparalleled patriotism, integrity, honesty, and courage in the task of steering the ship of Nigeria in the right direction since assuming office on May 29, 2015.
He also praised the President for keeping his promises to Nigerians, particularly in the fight against corruption and insurgency, as well as the construction of infrastructure in various parts of the country.
According to Sanwo-Olu, Buhari is one of the few Nigerian leaders who has made significant contributions to the country’s growth and development, particularly in the Armed Forces, politics, and governance.
“On behalf of my family, the government, the people of Lagos State and the entire members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), I congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
“President Buhari has devoted the majority of his life to serving our beloved Nigeria. He is the epitome of honesty, dedication, and service, and he has used his elevated positions for the betterment of the Nigerian people at various times.
“As President Buhari celebrates his 80th birthday, it is our prayer that God will grant him more prosperous years in good health and wisdom as he continues to serve our dear nation. “Happy Birthday, Mr. President, the newest member of the Octogenarian Club.”
