Buhari’s congratulatory message is contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, in Abuja on Sunday.
The President joined members of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, professional colleagues, associates of Jonathan, and his family in celebrating the unique history of the Nigerian leader.
He noted that the former president, within a short period rose from being a Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President to become Nigeria’s President for six years.
