A congratulatory message by Otti’s Chief Press Secretary, Ukoha N Ukoha, on Saturday hailed Tinubu, saying his leadership and dedication to the country’s development have contributed to the unity of the national polity.
“The Executive Governor of Abia State, His Excellency, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, on behalf of the Government and good people of Abia State extends his warmest felicitations to the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on the occasion of his 73rd birthday.
“As we celebrate the life, leadership, and unwavering dedication of Mr. President to the progress and unity of our nation, we salute him for his resilience and sacrifice in building a strong and united nation.
“As Mr. President marks this special day, we pray that the Almighty God will continue to grant him the strength, wisdom and good health to steer the ship of our Nation to greater heights.
“Please, Mr. President, accept our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for a joyous birthday celebration,” the statement read.
On his part, Aiyedatiwa said that under the Renewed Hope administration, Ondo State has witnessed unprecedented federal presence and support, including infrastructural projects and appointments.
The Governor said: “I write to congratulate an icon, a worthy example in excellence, courage and passion; a dogged fighter and leader of leaders, His Excellency, the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, on the auspicious occasion of his 73rd birthday.
“Dear Mr. President, your life has been a testament of what only God and determination could do. The Nigerian political scene remains incomplete without a worthy mention of your unconditional contributions even before democracy returned in 1999.
“In and out of government, you resisted the temptation of flirtatious political entanglement and remained true to progressive ideas and ideals even when it wasn’t fashionable. We see in you a leader with so much patience, always ready to allow others to grow while waiting for no compensation.
“As our leader, I am in awe of your uncanny ability to take bold decisions in the overall interest of the people while bearing the consequences that may come thereafter without caving in to pressures. Of bold steps to engender development in every part of the country, you have demonstrated courage in the face of hopelessness.
“As the father of the nation, we appreciate the blessedness of your wisdom in quelling a political inferno while entrenching political stability in our State when we direly needed one.
“Importantly, we recognize your developmental support geared towards making Ondo State great in all ramifications. Chiefly, the dualisation of Ore-Ondo-Akure road, establishment of Federal University of Technology Teaching Hospital, construction of Lagos/Calabar Coastal Highway, giving us an avaition institution and several political appointments for sons and daughters of Ondo State bear testimonies to the unprecedented inclusivity that the State has enjoyed since 1999.
“On behalf of the people and Government of Ondo State, I wish Mr. President renewed vigour, strength, courage and good health to lead Nigeria to the realm of desired progress and bliss.”
