If I hear say Obasanjo na 79…lol. President Buhari has heartily congratulated former President of Nigeria and elder statesman, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo as he turns 79 years old tomorrow March 5th.
In a statement signed by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity,Femi Adesina, Buhariaffirms that the former president, who is approaching the octogenarian cycle, has contributed immensely to the institutionalization of democracy in Nigeria and Africa through his personal sacrifice, extensive local and international networks, and God-given wisdom. The statement reads in part…
“President Buhari believes that Chief Obasanjo’s place in global history is assured for successfully handing over power to a civilian government in 1979 after serving as a military Head of State, and returning to power in 1999 through elections to stabilize the polity, during which he most remarkably negotiated a debt relief for Nigeria.
The President warmly commends Chief Obasanjo’s vision and commitment to the growth of Nigeria and Africa, which translated into a historical growth rate of 6 percent for the Nigerian economy after a long period of slow growth, and also created a rippling effect that buoyed other African economies.
As he turns 79, the President avers that the former president’s regular shuttles across Nigeria and Africa to counsel on economic, social and political issues, and his willingness to head election monitoring teams that have heralded smooth transitions in many countries are legacies which generations will remain grateful.
President Buhari prays that the Almighty God will grant the Balogun of the Owu lineage, who is also the Ekerin Balogun of the Egba clan, long life and strength to continue his service to humanity.”.
A reader sent in these photos. This is the view of the canal from 3rd Mainland bridge. There is always so much filth in the water especially as you approach Oworonshoki from the island and this does not help the state's image as a mega city. Here's hoping the Lagos state management would do something about the deplorable sight... see more photos after the cut.
