In a brief speech, Mr Boss Mustapha, while thanking him for his service to our great nation, eulogized the attributes of the former President.
“Your Excellency sir, joining other cabinet members, we have come to pay a special homage on the occasion of your birthday. You are an incorruptible and exemplary leader.

“President Muhammadu Buhari’s contribution to the development of our great nation, especially in infrastructure development and securing our maritime waters against piracy will not be forgotten in a hurry. He was an incorruptible leader and father of the nation indeed. He prayed that the Almighty Allah will sustain Baba Buhari in good health and grace him further with a long and fruitful life.
