President Bola Tinubu has extended warm birthday wishes to former President Goodluck Jonathan as he turns 68, commending him as a national figure whose actions continue to influence Nigeria’s democratic progress.
According to a message released by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu joined Jonathan’s family, close associates, and political allies in honouring the former president’s contributions.
Tinubu praised Jonathan’s calm approach to leadership—especially his decision during the 2015 presidential race, a moment he described as one that fortified Nigeria’s democratic credentials and enhanced the country’s global reputation.
He also reflected on their earlier professional encounters, noting that his own guidance and support played a role at certain points in Jonathan’s rise to national leadership, including events leading up to the 2011 elections.
The President added that Jonathan’s continued diplomatic roles across Africa show his dedication to stability and democratic values on the continent.
He offered prayers for Jonathan, his wife Patience, and their family, wishing them good health and many more fulfilling years.
