The All Progressives Congress (APC) says that the legacy of
former President Olusegun Obasanjo had continued to inspire good governance on
the African continent after so many years.
APC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abudullahi, stated
this in a statement on Monday in Abuja while celebrating the former president
on his 81st birthday, noting that the former president remained an influential
voice in different facets of national life.
He said, ´´Our party joins family, friends, well-wishers and
associates in celebrating the retired general, who has emerged as a bastion of
democracy, good governance and development in Nigeria and beyond.
´´Chief Obasanjo has inspired a generation of Nigerians,
notably in the areas of entrepreneurship, leadership and education, especially
through his non-profit initiatives, the Africa Leadership Forum (ALF) and the
Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library.´´
He added that as a true Nigerian patriot and statesman,
Obasanjo had over the years built solid bridges across political divides in
Nigeria, Africa and the world at large.
He prayed to God to enable Obasanjo age in
health and wisdom, so that he could continue to contribute to the unending task
of nation building.
