President Muhammadu Buhari has joined the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) and Federal Executive Council (FEC) to celebrate the secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), Boss Gidahyelda Mustapha, on his 64th birthday, today.
President Buhari in a statement issued yesterday by his media aide, Garba Shehu, sent warm greetings to family, friends, professional and political associates of Mustapha, a lawyer, party stalwart, and chairman of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19, “whose visionary and inclusive leadership style continues to strengthen the governing party and the administration with remarkable results.”
As the SGF turns 64, the president noted with gratitude, his sacrifices and selfless service to the nation for close to four decades, taking a stand for democracy and good governance at an early age, and working assiduously to raise structures and support causes that project the ideals of a liberal and accommodating nation, like serving in the Constituent Assembly in 1989, working on many committees and heading several government agencies.
Buhari affirmed that Mustapha had provided strong and commendable leadership as a rallying point for FEC and demonstrated high-level patriotism by accepting the onerous position of chairing the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, congratulating him and the team for steadily guiding Nigerians in the midst of health and economic uncertainties.
President Buhari prayed that the Almighty God will continue to strengthen the SGF for greater service to the country and humanity.
