President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday felicitated with the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr John Odigie-Oyegun as he marked his 79th birthday.
In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President described Oyegun as a patriotic Nigerian, who personifies the meaning of a progressive in letter and in spirit.
“President Buhari recalls that throughout Chief Oyegun’s distinguished career as a civil servant, first civilian Governor of Edo State, pro-democracy activist and the first elected National Chairman of the APC, whose leadership was instrumental to the advent of the Change government in 2015.
“He stood out as a beacon of progressive values and principles embodied in change, reforms and intense commitment to the good of the nation,” the statement read in part.
President Buhari, therefore, prayed that God grants the celebrant more years of good health and fulfilment “to see a nation where positive change, in all facets of our national lives, is a reality for all”.
