He said this was backed with vision of a greater Nigeria through investments in people, institutions and governments, without minding tribe or creed.

Buhari joined family members, friends, business and political associates in celebrating the septuagenarian, who had ”diligently and progressively risen on the nation’s political ladder since 1992″.
