Buhari Extols Adam Oshiomhole’s Bravery, Forthrightness At 65

President Muhammadu Buhari has extolled the bravery and forthrightness of the former governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as he turned 65.

In a birthday message today, President Buhari described Oshimhole as foremost labour leader, who rendered courageous and selfless service to humanity, the nation and his community.

He said that as a former leader of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and a governor, Oshiomhole instituted long lasting changes in Edo State for eight years, particularly the investments in people by enhancing the health, educational and physical infrastructure standard of the state.

The President extoled the vision, bravery and forthrightness of Comrade Oshiomhole, adding that as a unionist and labour leader, he played frontline roles in ensuring a return to democracy and the entrenchment of democratic principles in governance by continually challenging the norms and emphasizing the rule of law, people friendly policies, probity and accountability.

Buhari acknowledged that the nation has benefitted a lot from the robust and responsive leadership style of the former governor, believing that as he grows older, his invaluable wisdom will be most useful for the growth of the nation. [myad]
