Deputy Senate President (DSP) Barau I. Jibrin, has described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a visionary leader, even as he urges support for the president in his quest to address the challenges facing the country. He also preached unity, tolerance and peace at Easter celebration.
Senator Barau stated these on Thursday, in a statement, by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, to mark the President’s 72nd birthday.
“I join all Nigerians and other admirers around the world in rejoicing with a Great Visionary Leader of Our Time, the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his 72nd birthday, on March 29, 2024,” he appealed.
On the Easter celebration, he enjoined Christians to imbibe the teachings of Jesus Christ and the lessons of Easter which emphasise peace, love, perseverance and forgiveness.
He called on all Nigerians to reflect on the state of the nation and rededicate themselves in prayers and sacrifice even as he said the country’s challenges were surmountable if the people unite, love one another and pray for the country and its leadership to move the nation forward.
“I congratulate the entire Christian faithful on the occasion of this year’s Easter celebration. I equally congratulate our Christian brothers and sisters on the successful completion of the Lenten season, a period of 40 days of fasting and prayers,” he said, even as he prayed for peace and prosperity for all Nigerians and urged them to enjoy a hitch free celebration.
