On Tuesday, President Muhammadu Buhari expressed his congratulations to Chief Emeka Anyaoku, a former secretary general of the Commonwealth who will turn 90 on January 18, 2023.
In a letter that President Buhari personally signed, I’m happy to celebrate Chief Emeka Anyaoku’s 90th birthday on January 18, 2023, with him. He is a seasoned diplomat and administrator, and I’m glad to be able to do this.
I know that you have made important contributions to the growth of the country, from your early days as a junior Foreign Service Officer to your current job as Secretary-General of the Commonwealth. You have always made Nigeria look like a great place to live.
“I want to thank you for being a statesman and for using your many friends all over the world to help the country strengthen democracy, good governance, and sustainable development.
“As you pass the 90-year mark, we praise God for the gift of long life, good health, and sound mind, and we celebrate with you, your family, and your loved ones.” Birthday greetings.
