Jonathan Congratulates Gowon At 80


STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT JONATHAN EULOGIZES GOWON @ 80, SAYS FORMER HEAD OF STATE WILL REMAIN A WORTHY AND STEADFAST ICON OF NIGERIAN HISTORY

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has heaped encomiums on former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, describing him as a worthy, steadfast and iconic feature of Nigerian history.


In a congratulatory letter to General Gowon on the occasion of his 80th birthday, President Jonathan said that the nation will always owe the former Head of
State a huge debt of gratitude for successfully managing and guiding Nigeria through an unfortunate civil war out of which it emerged as an even stronger and more united nation. 

“As you deservedly celebrate this noteworthy anniversary on Sunday, October 19th, 2014, I join your family, friends, protégés and well-wishers in celebrating you and thanking Almighty God for the uniquely richly fulfilled life He has blessed you with these past 80 years.

“Over the years, you have continued to use your exalted position to engender bridges of love and harmony across the country; availing successive governments of your wise counsel, and demonstrating your unwavering faith and willingness to partner with us in our quest to bequeath to our collective posterity, a nation of which we can all be proud. Nigeria owes you a huge debt of gratitude,” President Jonathan wrote.

The President wished General Gowon very happy 80th birthday celebrations and prayed that Almighty God will continue to bless, guide and protect him.

    1. The old bag should have been in jail for the genocide against fellow citizens. The blood of the pregnant women and children he murdered will hunt him to his grave.

  7. At least he isn't contesting for Presidency again. Unlike Buhari who doesn't know he needs to take several seats by now and allow the younger generation direct the country they will still be in for the next 20 years-long after he (Buhari) has quit the scene!
