Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, felicitates with former President Olusegun Obasanjo as he clocks 89, describing him as an elder statesman with global influence.
In his congratulatory message, the Speaker says Obasanjo remains one of the leaders Nigerians consult on national issues due to his wealth of experience drawn from decades of military and political service.
Speaker Abbas extols Obasanjo's unique distinction as the first Nigerian, followed by the late President Muhammadu Buhari, to have led the country both as a military head of state and a democratically elected president, underscoring his unparalleled experience and privilege.
Speaker Abbas thanks former President Obasanjo for his services to the country and his continued guidance to the current political class, praying God to grant him more years to play his fatherly roles in Nigeria and Africa.
