President Muhammadu Buhari salutes the former Governor of Osun State, Chief Bisi Akande, the first National Chairman of the governing All Progressives Congress, APC, on his 84th birthday.
The President in a statement through his spokesman, Garba Shehu described him as a true statesman and a man of the masses.
The President pays homage to the sacrifices of one of the champions of the nation’s democratic struggle, a man he says rose from humble beginnings to occupy the party’s highest constitutional position through hard work and discipline.
President Buhari says Chief Akande will continue “to bask in the sun as a true statesman and a symbol of sacrifice, bravery and moral integrity.”
He wishes him many more years of service to the Party and the nation.
