President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with the former National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, on the occasion of his 79th birthday yesterday.
The President, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, joined family, friends, well-wishers and party members in celebrating another milestone in the life of a patriotic Nigerian, who personifies the meaning of a progressive in letter and in spirit.
Buhari recalled that throughout Chief Odigie-Oyegun’s distinguished career as a civil servant, first civilian governor of Edo State, pro-democracy activist and the first elected national chairman of 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.
He prayed God almighty to grant 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.”
