Muhammadu Buhari has praised former President Goodluck Jonathan on his 60th birthday, which comes up on Monday.
According to him, Jonathan’s delving into politics and ascendency to the highest political office in Nigeria from a humble riverine background testifies to the greatness and inclusiveness of Nigeria’s democracy, and serves as an invitation to all those with interest to add value to the nation.
President Buhari prayed that the almighty God would bless the former president with good health, wisdom and strength to continue serving the country.
Former President Jonathan, who has been described as the luckiest politician of Nigeria’s political history, was born in Otueke, Bayelsa state, on Nov. 20 1957.
Before he entered politics in 1998, Jonathan worked as an education inspector, lecturer, and environmental-protection officer.
Jonathan had also served as Deputy Governor and later as Governor of Bayelsa from 2005 to 2007.
