President Muhammadu Buhari has hailed his predecessor Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, for his service to Nigeria and for ensuring the peace and advancement of democracy on the African continent.
Buhari said this Tuesday night in a special birthday message to Jonathan, who clocks 64 on Wednesday.
Buhari said Jonathan has continued to expand the boundaries of leadership, teaching many in the country the power of focus, consistency and diligence.
Jonathan had served as Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President, President, African Union Envoy and now, Chairman of the International Summit Council for Peace Africa (ISCP-Africa).
ISCP-Africa is an association of incumbent and former heads of state and their deputies, established in 2019 by the Universal Peace Federation, an organization in general consultative status with the United Nations (UN).
President Buhari said he believes the former President’s profile should remind those in position and all aspiring leaders that serving the country and humanity requires sacrifice, and ultimately placing the interest of others above personal gains.
Buhari prayed that the Almighty God will continue to sustain the Jonathan family in good health and all round well being.
