Former President Muhammadu Buhari has extended his warm wishes to his successor, President Bola Tinubu, on the occasion of his 72nd birthday. In a phone call between the two leaders, Buhari reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to Tinubu's success in governing Nigeria, the most populous African country.
The conversation between the former president and Tinubu, disclosed by former presidential spokesperson Garba Shehu, underscores the significance of their relationship within the political landscape of Nigeria. Shehu noted that Buhari expressed his full support for the APC administration under Tinubu's leadership, emphasizing that the accomplishments of the new administration should be celebrated as national achievements.
Before the phone call, Buhari had publicly acknowledged Tinubu's birthday on his official social media page, praising his "excellent leadership" and dedication to addressing the country's challenges. The former president's message conveyed prayers for Tinubu's health, happiness, and continued efforts toward national development.
