President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has felicitated former President Ibrahim Babangida on the occasion of his 79th birthday coming up on August 17.
Lawan, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Ola Awoniyi in Abuja on Sunday, said the former Nigerian leader could be proud of his contributions to the defence, unity, political and sociology-economic development of Nigeria.
The Senate President noted that Babangida had remained passionate about Nigeria more than two decades after his exit from active public service, urging him to continue to avail those in leadership positions the benefits of his experience and wise counsel.
Such wise counsel, he said, was necessary for the unity, stability and progress of the nation, even as he wished the General many more years of good health and peace of mind. (NAN)
