Plateau State Governor, Rt Hon. Simon Bako Lalong, has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on his 76th birthday anniversary on Monday, 17th December, 2018, stressing that the President is the architect and father of contemporary Nigeria.

Governor Lalong made this known in a statement issued in Jos on Sunday, 16th December, 2018 by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mark Longyen.

The statement reads, “Mr President, I join millions of Nigerians and other well-wishers to rejoice with you on this epochal and auspicious occasion of your 76th birthday.

“My wish for you today is continuous sound health, long life, prosperity and uncommon wisdom to steer the affairs of our dear country.

“Mr President, your birthday reminds us of the fact that you are the architect and father of modern Nigeria, an ant-corruption czar, a lover of the masses, a nationalist and patriot par excellence.

“Your Excellency, you have succeeded in changing the hitherto negative narrative about Nigeria and its attendant image in the comity of nations within a record time of your first tenure of office.

“This implies that electing you for a second term in office is the only guarantee for the consolidation of your success story and realizing the Nigeria of our dreams and the dreams of our heroes past.“
