A former President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, has thanked family members, friends, associates and supporters who played various roles in the celebration of his 60th birthday.
Saraki expressed his appreciation on Tuesday in a statement from Saudi Arabia where he is currently on lesser hajj, expressing his gratitude to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, among others.
He said, “I give glory to almighty Allah for giving me the grace of having family members, friends, associates, supporters and well-wishers who celebrated my birthday, even in my absence and beyond what I could have ever organised on my own.
“My gratitude goes to all my people who organised prayers, those who organised empowerment workshops for youths, those who sponsored the donation of gifts to the less privileged, those who paid for newspaper and social media advertisements as well as those who issued press statements to congratulate me.
“Let me specifically mention former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, incumbent and former state governors, serving and past members of the Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives, politicians, members of the business community, family members, friends, aides, and organisations like the Nigerian Governors Forum and the Wellbeing Foundation Africa for their contributions.”
