- Congratulates Veteran Journalist Tony Momoh On 78th Birthday
President Muhammadu Buhari has again given Nigerians more reasons to worry about his health condition as he, again was absent at a meeting of the Federal Executive Council held inside the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
However, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, presided over the meeting on his behalf.
Meanwhile, President Buhari has warmly congratulated veteran journalist and former Minister of Information and Culture, Prince Tony Momoh on his 78th birthday, that comes up on April 27, 2017.
In a release signed by presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina on Wednesday, President Buhari said he was joining other professional and political colleagues, friends and family in celebrating the cerebral statesman whose career in journalism, as an editor and administrator, covers some of the most dramatic, and defining moments of Nigeria’s history.
Said the statement “As he turns 78 years old, the President extols the courage, versatility and nobility that the former Information Minister has exuded in making tough and selfless decisions for the benefit of the nation, which includes choosing to serve with opposition parties, like All Nigeria Peoples’ Party and Congress for Progressive Change, with all the odds.
“President Buhari recalls with delight his many insightful encounters with the septuagenarian over the years, affirming that Momoh will always be remembered for his unalloyed support for the truth that culminated in the electoral victory of 2015.
