Checks by Correspondent by 8pm, on Friday, indicate that the immediate-past President, Goodluck Jonathan, as well as former President Olusegun Obasanjo, have failed to wish President Muhammadu Buhari a happy 79th birthday, at least publicly, as he celebrates today.
On Goodluck Jonathan’s 2.3 million followers Facebook page, his last post was at 3:44pm, yesterday, Thursday, with pictures and a caption of his attendance of Azibaola Robert’s Investiture, while Obasanjo who is not officially on any social media platform, was yet to release an Press statement to the Media, as his felicitation message to the President on the occasion of his birthday, at the time of filing in this report.
Recall, that President Buhari is in far away Turkey, where he officially marked his birthday today, with a surprise from the Delegation that accompanied him on his trip, gifting him with 2 cakes, as seen in the official phots released by the Presidency, earlier today.
Elsewhere, many important figures and groups in the country have wished the President a happy birthday, with even some of his critics writing subtle messages to him, in celebration of his 79th birthday.
