President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated the Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, as he marks his 58th birthday anniversary today. The president, in a statement issued yesterday by his Media Adviser, Femi Adesina, joined the leadership and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to celebrate with the party chieftain “whose dedication to good governance and democratic growth remains outstanding.”

Buhari congratulated the alternate presiding officer of the ninth National Assembly on another milestone, saluting his commitment to the development of Delta State and the country, serving variously as state Commissioner for Special Duties, as well as Secretary to the State Government (SSG) before his election to the Senate in 2015.

According to the president, “The ranking senator’s down-to-earth leadership style, coupled with his foresight and generosity in sharing ideas has been most pivotal in the harmonious relationship with lawmakers.”

He also appreciated Omo-Agege for always bringing his vast experience as a lawyer to shape party issues and national discourse, and prayed for his good health, strength, and continued service to God and mankind.

Also, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, in a statement described Omo-Agege as a committed lawmaker with the interest of the Nigerian people at heart, and who has contributed immensely to the growth and development of the Nigerian legislature.

According to the statement, “As a politician of the APC extraction, Omo-Agege’s sterling leadership qualities have made him one of the top party members to reckon with.

“The Delta State politician has maintained an unassuming personality over the years,” noting that his character portrays him as someone worthy of emulation.

Gbajabiamila prayed for more fruitful years of good health for the deputy president of the Senate.
