President Jonathan congratulates Gen. Buhari on his 72nd birthday

As Gen. Buhari clocks 72 tomorrow, President Jonathan wishes him many more years of good health and personal fulfillment. Read the press statement below...

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has written to congratulate General Muhammadu Buhari on the occasion of his 72nd birthday anniversary which comes up tomorrow, Wednesday, December 17, 2014.
 In a congratulatory letter addressed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in next year’s presidential election, President Jonathan prayed that God Almighty should grant him many more years of good health and personal fulfillment. “As you mark your 72nd birthday anniversary, I write, on behalf of my family, the Government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to extend warm felicitations to you. “I join your family, friends, and well-wishers to thank God for your life and to pray that He continues to guide, guard and prosper you even as He blesses you with many more years of abounding health and personal fulfillment,” President Jonathan wrote.
He wished General Buhari a very happy birthday.

  24. Linda,my advices for u on d issue of giving out the blackberry is that everybody should be given equal chances by way of selection base on sensible comments. Rather for you not to be sentimental on this ,I will advice that your selection should be based on LIB readers' intellectual contribution i.e people who make good comment not comment like na waoooo, show this na......etc. Those comment that make sense. And this should be based on Old and New members of LIB reader who has been outstanding with the contributions or comments....owotheprof@yahoo.co

And that R mean the person has read my pinging I really love bold 5, and the way I used to move from one application like facebook to whatsApp and to other applications, and whenever I take pictures with my Blackberry bold 5. It always clear and finer is my number one among the rest phones pictures, also with Blackberry protect when my former Bold 2 was stolen, it was Blackberry protect that help me to get all my contact back because I used Blackberry protect to back-up all my contact before it was stolen, that is what I really love about blackberry.

  120. This is why I like blackberry phones check out BB10, I like it because;
    True multitasking
    Easier navigation between running programs
    Easier management of running programmes
    Expandable memory
    Tim-shifting camera
    Constant ability to monitor incoming massages
    SERIOUSlY cool keyboard
    That keyboard goes somewhat "predictive".
    First of, the keys are much wider than those on iOS, particularly in portrait mode. much easier to type on, even without the new features. Second, the prediction scheme is apparently more adaptive, and pays more attention to the way you write as an individual. Third, the ability to "flick" words into the output is frankly brilliant, and I can confirm it's a game-changer. It's an honest productivity-booster. micheal4rig@gmail.com

  129. hehehe. I love my president. he is God's blessing to Nigeria. a peace loving man, an epitome of what a president should be, a lion with pride, who stands tall at every point in time, even when others abuse him for eating grass, he explains to them the importance and circle of life. a man who values a d respects human life, a president with a very clean state, an educator, a justice of the peace of Nigeria, my father from another state and mother, my beloved president, I salute u. I salute u because u deserve it, I salute u because u have the grace of God upon ur head. with u as my president, I can gladly sing and chant the national anthem, with love and pride in my heart, knowing that for once, my country had a hero for a president. u are my hero and because of u, I am proud to be a Nigerian, I am proud to call this country my home. my president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan u are an angel sent from heaven to show what democracy really means in Nigeria. whether you win the 2015 elections or not, in my heart, u will always remain the president of Nigeria. thank you for being my president. many kisses to u our darling First Lady, because behind every great man, there is a great woman. thank you for being by this great man.

    N/B: Buhari is a man of many goals and ambition, he has tried contesting for presidency over and over. if not that he was standing against Jonathan my Beloved President, I would have advocated for him to win. but I am so addicted to my president because he has proven to be the best President to ever rule Nigeria in my own view. and I love him for it.
