Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and his wife, Dolapo Osinbajo, have congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on the occasion of his 80th birthday, describing him as an honest leader.

In a personally signed statement, the vice president said: “Your extraordinary life of unblemished service to the nation in the army, as a governor, minister, military head of state and as two-term civilian president demonstrates that it is possible to serve the nation and our people honestly, forthrightly and selflessly. 

“Dolly and I and the family wish you many more happy years in peace and good health in Jesus name. Amen.”

Meanwhile, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has described President Muhammadu Buhari as a model of discipline, integrity, resilience and patriotism.

The party, in a message by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, to mark Buhari’s 80th birthday anniversary on Saturday, said the president served Nigeria “courageously and sagaciously”, adding that he remained a “source of great inspiration to many Nigerians.”
