The President of the Forums of Regions of Africa (FORAF) and former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on his 80th birthday.
Fayemi, in a statement issued by his media aide, Malam Ahmad Sajoh, praised Buhari as a leader who has shown that a new kind of leadership is possible on the continent, adding that Buhari had done his best to fix the multi-dimensional problems plaguing Nigeria.
Fayemi noted that even the fiercest critics of Buhari would not deny his personal integrity, his ascetic lifestyle and his love for the common people.
Fayemi said Buhari’s love for the people had been demonstrated in the numerous social development and pro-people policies and programmes of the Federal Government in the last seven-and-half years of his administration.
“Buhari has shown through his personal example and conduct that a new kind of leadership is possible in Africa, one that is not exemplified by the accumulation of personal wealth but speedy social and infrastructural transformation through government action.
“As the president marks his 80th birthday, I felicitate with him and his family. I wish him continuous good health and a long and prosperous life,”Fayemi said.
