\n

By Ifeanyi Olannye<\/p>\n

Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta has congratulated former Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, on his 59th birthday anniversary.<\/p>\n

The governor in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Olisa Ifeajika, on Sunday in Asaba acknowledged Saraki\u2019s\u00a0immense contributions to nation building in his many years of service to his state, Kwara and Nigeria.<\/p>\n

He said that Saraki, a former governor of Kwara and 13th President of the Senate, contributed in great measures to the nation\u2019s political development.<\/p>\n

Okowa particularly lauded the Wazirin Ilorin for his remarkable efforts in the re-building and growth of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).<\/p>\n

\u201cAs President of the Senate in the\u00a08th Assembly, you presided over\u00a0a\u00a0pro-people\u2019s Red Chamber which\u00a0was dedicated to making laws targeted at making\u00a0lives\u00a0better for Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Senate under your leadership worked for, supported and obeyed the rule of law in all its dealings. You brought uncommon courage, exceptional patriotism and effusive statesmanship to bear on your job as president of the senate and Chairman of the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerians are grateful to you for ensuring the independence of the legislature, and as an integral member of our party\u2019s rescue mission, we appreciate the outstanding contributions you are making to that course.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of my family, the government and people of Delta, I join your family, political associates, friends and well wishers to thank Almighty God for your life which has been marked with outstanding accomplishments.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you clock 59 years today, it is my prayer that God will continue to bless you with good health and wisdom to sustain your compassionate service to mankind,\u2019\u2019 the governor said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
