President Bola Tinubu has paid tribute to his predecessor Muhammadu Buhari on his 82nd birthday and said his government would continue to build on the latter’s legacy.
Tinubu described Buhari, whom he took over the reins of office in 2023 as a dogged person who inspires others never to give up on their dreams.
“Your doggedness and resilience in contesting presidential elections in 2003, 2007, and 2011 before winning them in 2015 and 2019 also inspire us never to give up,” President Tinubu said in a personal statement he issued on Tuesday.
“I will continue to build on the infrastructure legacy you bequeathed to our nation as the leader of our country’s first All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.”
Tinubu said Buhari’s birthday was a time to reflect on the Katsina-born ex-president’s “years of dedicated service and leadership, which have significantly shaped the course of our nation.”
