The Governor of Kwara State, Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed, has described former Head of State and presidential flag bearer of the Congress for Progressive Change, General Muhammadu Buhari, as a gallant military officer and gentleman per excellence who has remained fervently committed to the entrenchment of democratic values in the country.
Ahmed made this assertion in a congratulatory message to Buhari, who turned 70 on Monday.
The governor noted that since 1999 when the present democratic experience began, Buhari has remained one of the strident voices whose views on democratic and other national issues could not be overlooked.
Ahmed recalled that Buhari’s regime, as Head of State, was “remarkable in the annals of our national history as it fostered a culture of discipline, moral rectitude and patriotism among Nigerians.
“As chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund, Gen. Buhari epitomized prudent, transparency and excellence in project management.”
The governor prayed to Allah to grant Buhari good health and more wisdom as he enters the septuagenarian club.
