President Bola Tinubu has felicitated former president and elder statesman, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, on his 89th birthday on March 5.
In a statement from the presidency, the President rejoiced with Chief Obasanjo, whose towering influence in the country, Africa, and beyond is significant.
President Tinubu noted the courage and sacrifices of the elder statesman, who previously served the nation as military Head of State from 1976 to 1979, handing over power to a civilian president in 1979, and later as the first civilian president in the fourth republic, 1999-2007.

As Chief Obasanjo turns 89, the President acknowledged the zeal and wisdom he has brought into Nigeria’s development process through his books and regular interventions, revealing a depth of patriotism to nation-building.
President Tinubu prayed for more years of good health, strength, and wisdom for the former president as he continues to serve the nation and humanity.
