The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) congratulates our former National Chairman, former minister of education, member of Board of Trustees (BoT), elder statesman and one of the founding fathers of our great party, Dr. Ahmadu Ali (rtd), as he marks his 85th birthday.
Dr. Ahmadu Ali is a courageous leader, a dazzling military officer, quintessential administrator, exceptionally brilliant medical doctor and a very dutiful nationalist, who have been making sacrifices for the unity, stability, development and progress of our dear nation.
Our party is particularly proud of the contributions of Dr. Ahmadu Ali towards the return of democracy in our country, when he and other patriots joined forces to envision and birth our great party, the PDP, for the good of all Nigerians.
As a party administrator, member of the federal executive council and now elder statesman, Dr. Ahmadu Ali had continued to put the collective interest of our nation above every personal, sectional or parochial interests and shows that essence of statesmanship lies in serving others than the self.
The PDP congratulates this democratic icon as he turns a milestone age of 85 and prays God to grant him many more years in good health so that our nation and party, the PDP, will continue to draw from his wealth of experience, goodwill and wise counsel.
Signed:
Kola Ologbondiyan
