Oyegun Clocks 79, Buhari Sends Congratulatory Note

Nigerian political topshot and the immediate past National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has clocked 79 and he has been congratulated by President Muhammadu Buhari.

In a release sent to PMParrot from Shehu Garba, the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Buhari was quoted as saying that he was joining Oyegun’s family, friends, well-wishers and party members in celebrating another milestone in the lifetime of a patriotic Nigerian, who personifies the meaning of a progressive in letter and in spirit.

Said Garba “President Buhari recalls that throughout Chief Oyegun’s distinguished career as a civil servant, first civilian Governor of Edo State, pro-democracy activist and the first elected National Chairman of the APC, whose leadership was instrumental to the advent of the CHANGE government in 2015, he stood out as a beacon of progressive values and principles embodied in change, reforms and intense commitment to the good of the nation.

“President Buhari prays God almighty to grant the celebrant more years of good health and fulfillment to see a nation where positive change, in all facets of our national lives, is a reality for all.”
