Immediate past President of the Senate, David Mark has showered encomium on Nigeria’s erstwhile President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GEJ) on his diamond birthday anniversary.
In a tribute to Jonathan on his 60th birthday, Mark commended him for showing leadership and courage in the interest of the corporate existence of Nigeria when it mattered.
In a statement by Paul Mumeh, Media Assistant to the former Senate President, he noted that Jonathan’s humane and patriotic actions during and after the 2015 general elections added value to the sustainable democracy in the country today.
He pointed out that several international engagements and responsibilities being extended to Jonathan by the international community since he vacated office is a testimony that he left a credible legacy.
Mark therefore urged Jonathan to remain steadfast and focused as a statesman who will be willing to contribute to national development in Nigeria and Africa.
