President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday sent special message to Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan as he turns 61 years.

Spokesperson to the president, Garba Shehu, in a statement said Buhari warmly celebrated with Lawan on his 61st birthday.

According to the statement, Buhari extolled Lawan’s discipline, maturity and selflessness in always looking at the broader picture in decision making.

He said the president stated that Lawan’s maturity has translated into the many achievements of the ninth assembly within a short period, including a harmonious relationship with the executive, which recently, and historically, saw a return to the right budget cycle.

The statement read:
“The President joins the National Assembly and all members of All Progressives Congress in celebrating the milestone, which has been lined with many years of contributions to Nigeria’s development, with fruitful years of lawmaking, starting from House of Representatives in 1999.”

“At 61, the President believes the Senate President’s rich experience as an administrator, educator and lawmaker will go a long way in shaping policies that will directly impact on the livelihood of Nigerians, while commending his responsive and inclusive leadership style.

“President Buhari prays that the almighty God will continue to guide Dr Lawan to provide strong leadership, and grant him longer life and good health.”
