PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) family in congratulating party stalwart and former Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole on his 65th birthday.
The President felicitated with the foremost labour leader, his family, friends and colleagues on the milestone, which has been lined with awards and recognitions for courageous and selfless service to humanity, the nation and his community as a former leader of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and a governor.
In a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and publicity, Femi Adesina, the President extolled the vision, bravery and forthrightness of Oshiomhole in instituting long lasting changes in Edo State for eight years, particularly the investments in people by enhancing the health, educational and physical infrastructure standard of the state.
As a unionist and labour leader, Buhari acknowledged the vocal and frontline roles Oshiomhole played in ensuring a return to democracy and the entrenchment of democratic principles in governance by continually challenging the norms and emphasising the rule of law, people-friendly policies, probity and accountability.
He prayed that the almighty God will grant Oshiomhole longer life and good health to keep serving the nation he loves so much.
The President also sent birthday greetings to the former National President and Chairman of Council, Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, NACCIMA, Chief John Agboola Odeyemi, as he turns 79 today.
Buhari prayed the almighty God to grant the highly respected investor more years of good health, wisdom and strength to continue serving the country.
