Senate Chief Whip, Sen. Orji Kalu, has congratulated a former Governor of Lagos, Sen. Bola Tinubu, on his 70th birthday celebration.
In a goodwill message issued on Tuesday in Abuja, Kalu acknowledged Tinubu’s contributions to nation-building in various capacities.
The former Abia governor said that the National Leader of All Progressives Party (APC) had, over the years, demonstrated political dexterity and administrative acumen in his endeavours.
He urged the celebrant to sustain his good works while praying for longer life for him.
“I join family, friends and associates in celebrating a former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as he clocks 70.
“The former governor is a consummate politician, seasoned public administrator and philanthropist of repute, whose contributions to the growth and progress of Lagos State and Nigeria are worthy of commendation and emulation.
“Asiwaju Tinubu laid a solid foundation in Lagos State for his successors. He played a remarkable role in putting Lagos state on the global stage.
“The former governor has indeed carved a niche for himself in politics, leadership and philanthropy,” Kalu remarked.
The lawmaker wished Tinubu more fulfilling years ahead.
