Buhari Congratulates El-Rufai At 60

President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday congratulated the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

In a statement signed by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the president, Mr Femi Adesina, Buhari “joins Kaduna State Executive Council and indigenes in celebrating Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai.”

“President Buhari felicitates with former Director-General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises and Minister of Federal Capital Territory, his family, and friends, affirming that his zeal to drive change through inclusive leadership and resilient spirit leaves a legacy that continues to attract and inspire younger people across all walks of life.

“As Governor el-Rufai turns 60, the President believes his foresight, wisdom and unusual capacity to mobilize people and resources to actualize dreams stand him out in leadership and administration.

“President Buhari notes that el-Rufai’s entry into public service was truly accidental, but the contributions he has made are deliberate, well thought out and long-lasting, also highlighting his diligent contributions to the 2015 political upset that heralded take-over of power by governing All Progressives Congress.

“The President prays that the almighty God will continue to bless the Kaduna State Governor and his family, and grant him good health to sustain the good work”, the statement reads.
