Former President Goodluck Jonathan has felicitated with ex-Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, on the occasion of his 77th birthday. In goodwill message he personally signed and made available to The Guardian yesterday, Jonathan described the Niger State-born indigene as a promoter of peace and national cohesion. The Bayelsa native highlighted Abubakar’s role in midwifing the Fourth Republic, describing it as a testament to his patriotism and selflessness. The message reads in part: “As a statesman, you have dedicated your life to promoting peace and national cohesion not just in Nigeria but across Africa.”
