Muhammadu Buhari, President of Nigeria, has congratulated Chief Adebisi Akande, first Interim Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) as he clocks 80.

In a statement by Mr Femi Adesina, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the president, Buhari congratulated his family and friends for the laudable achievements over the years.

Buhari said that Akande’s achievements had thrown him into the limelight at an early age, particularly highlighting his sacrifices in public service at both state and national levels.

He also affirmed that the former governor’s pivotal and visionary leadership prepared the party for history in 2015, which saw it unseating an incumbent president for the first time in an election in Nigeria.

Buhari praised the Akande’s for their loyalty and faithfulness to the party and the cause of building a strong and unified nation.

He also said Akande consistently challenges governments and leaders to higher ideals, and reminds them to think out of the box in meeting the needs of the poor and vulnerable.

The president also believed the octogenarian’s good-nature, large heart and broad outlook on issues had impacted positively on party politics and democracy in Nigeria.

Closing the statement, Buhari prayed that almighty God would grant Chief Akande longer life, strength and wisdom to serve more.
