The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday expressed gratitude to all Nigerians for making his 64th birthday a memorable event.
Tinubu added a year last Tuesday.
He particularly acknowledged “the enduring bond of common brotherhood and of our national purpose” exhibited by people from all walks of life who sacrificed their time to join in the celebration.
He said: “As such, that March 29 happened to be my birthday became secondary; it served as a platform for us to affirm our dedication to country and love of one another as brothers and sisters of the same national family.
“At that day’s colloquium, we studied how we can ensure food security and bolster the agricultural sector. I believe the ideas discussed represent important ways that we can improve the lives of every Nigerian.
“Even more than the wise suggestions and recommendations that were placed before us, the event was made special by the spirit of patriotism which swept through the hall. It was an inspiring and overwhelming moment that I shall never forget and shall use as a source of strength and hope as we struggle to realize the Nigeria of our better aspirations.”
Nigeria, Tinubu said in a statement, could become even greater “if we let our lives touch as many as possible with charity and compassion for all and ill-will towards none. Again, this was the spirit of the day and it was the finest gift I could ask for.”
He added: “The progress of Nigeria is both our journey and our destination. Each and every one
of us must contribute to this profound endeavour. I am honoured to be included as part of this patriotic team and I beseech every Nigerian to join in the collective undertaking to bring historic change to the nation.”
