The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Sunday congratulated a farmer, businessman and philanthropist, Khamis Badmus, on his 76th birthday.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, Buhari praised the business mogul for willingly deploying his experience and wisdom in serving the country, starting out as a policeman, journalist, and businessman, before delving into agriculture.
The statement was titled, ‘President Buhari hails foremost farmer, Asiwaju Khamis Badmus at 76.’
It read, “The president congratulates management and staff of the TUNS Group, particularly the TUNS Farms Nigeria Ltd, as they celebrate with the visionary leader whose resourcefulness continues to inspire and astound.
“President Buhari notes the diligence, foresight and patriotism of Asiwaju Badmus over many years, favouring only what is good and right for the country in investments, and placing the welfare of his staff and many dependants above self.”
“As the former President of Poultry Association of Nigeria, the President commends the dedication and courage of Asiwaju Badmus in turning the fortunes of poultry farmers around, and making it more attractive for the youth, especially as a veritable business.”
“President Buhari affirms that the business mogul has willingly deployed his experience and wisdom in serving the country, starting out as a policeman, journalist, businessman, before delving into agriculture, where he continues to thrive with innovation and new technology.”
He, therefore, prayed for more strength and good health for the Asiwaju Musulumi of Yoruba land.
