The Governor of Lagos has felicitated President Muhammadu Buhari on his 80th birthday.

Buhari was born on December 17, 1942.

In a statement by Gboyega Akosile, his chief press secretary, Sanwo-Olu described Buhari as one who is “never found to be corrupt”.

The Lagos governor also said Buhari’s “unblemished service” in public office has made him a role model to many Nigerians.

He described Buhari as a courageous and passionate leader, whose commitment to the growth and development of Nigeria is worthy of emulation.

He also praised Buhari for delivering on his promises to Nigerians, especially in building infrastructure, fighting insurgency, and tackling corruption.

“President Buhari to date remains one of the most respected and honest world leaders, who is never found to be corrupt despite the juicy positions he has held in the military and other public offices at state, regional, national, and international levels in the last 50 years,” Sanwo-Olu said.
