“We acknowledge and commend your leadership, vision and commitment to a united prosperous Nigeria in the last few years,’’ Bagudu said.
Bagudu expressed confidence that under Buhari’s leadership, Nigeria would continue to triumph over her challenges while progressing to a stronger, prosperous and more peaceful nation.
He wished the president a happy birthday and thanked him for his selfless service to the country.
Bagudu reaffirmed the commitment of the Forum to work under Buhari’s leadership with the faith that the initiatives of the APC-led Federal Government would meet the expectations of Nigerians.
“We are very proud of your patriotic leadership. You are our role model and a source of inspiration,’’ Bagudu.
