The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Niger State branch has greeted former Military President General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida on his 83rd birthday, calling him an exemplary national leader, statesman, and patriot.

In a birthday message given to General Babangida at his Minna house, the state chairman of CAN, Most Rev. Bulus Dauwa Yohanna, praised the elder statesman for his enduring dedication to the nation’s unity and advancement.

The Most Rev. Yohanna prayed to God for wisdom and discernment so that he could continue to intervene in Nigeria’s problems and provide relief, on behalf of his deputy, Rev. Ezekiel Ibrahim, who led other members of the executive committee.

“Your dedication to our great nation is unwavering, and we honour your selfless service, which has been a beacon of hope for our country.

“Your Excellency, on behalf of the executive committee members and the entire Christendom in the state, I wish you a happy birthday,” the cleric stated.

IBB’s contribution to promoting peaceful cohabitation among Nigerians was also praised by CAN.

“It is pertinent for you to look back at the tremendous contributions that you made for the development of our dear country, especially your recent support and resolve to champion the reintroduction of Christian Religious Knowledge, CRK, in all public primary and secondary schools.

“It is therefore fitting and proper to wish you a very happy birthday and may the almighty God give you long life, good health and continuous peace of mind,” Rev. Ibrahim said.

In response, Babangida expressed gratitude to the Body of Christ for honouring him and for their well-wishes and prayers.
