You Are A Patriot Par Excellence, Barau Tells Akpabio At 61

Senate Deputy President Barau Jibrin has felicitated Senate President Godswill Akpabio on his 61st birthday.

Barau, in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, in Abuja, described the President of the Senate, who was born on December 9, 1962, as a patriotic Nigerian par excellence.

“You are a patriotic Nigerian par excellence, your contribution to the entrenchment of democracy is immense, sterling and novel, first as a governor, a senator, a minority leader, a minister and now President of the Senate.

“As encapsulated in the Renewed Hope Agenda of the present administration, the welfare, interest, and general well-being of Nigerians are paramount to us in the 10th Senate under your able leadership.

“I pray that God continues to give you sound health, guidance and protection to continue to pilot the affairs of the parliament for the benefit of our great country,” he said.
