President Buhari in the statement said he joined family, friends and well-wishers around the country to celebrate the APC chieftain, thanking God for a life of service to the nation, good health and the opportunity to commemorate this special day.
The statement reads partly:
"As the former labour leader looks forward to joining the club of septuagenarians, the President urges him to rededicate his life to working for the prosperity of those in need, building bridges among people of diverse backgrounds and faith; and inspiring others to be patriotic, eschewing politics of division and acrimony."President Buhari also recognises the immense contributions the former national chairman has made to our nation, wishing the people’s comrade more years of service to build a better country."Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Oshiomhole clarified that he was neither in opposition to his party nor to President Muhammadu Buhari as being reported in some sections of the media.
Buhari expresses sorrow as he mourns Afenifere spokesman Yinka OdumakinOshiomhole on Sunday, February 28, said his statements about the APC registration and revalidation exercise weeks ago have been misinterpreted to mean he is fighting the leadership of the APC.
The APC chieftain explained that he only advised the APC to use the word update as a better tag for the membership registration exercise, as opposed to the revalidation being used.
In other news, the Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki, has said the Oshiomhole administration has questions to answer about how funds were spent.
Obaseki made the statement at a gathering at the home of a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Anthony Anenih, in Benin.
The governor said his administration must probe Oshiomhole and recover all stolen funds. He alleged that the funds spent on projects were embezzled by the past administration.

According to the lawmaker, ordinary citizens do not share the same view as the elites as they believe that the country should remain as one contrary to calls for secession, TheCable reports.

Nigerians must be given fair leadership
Senate president noted that the people desire to be led properly and that must be granted. He said it is a must for the masses to be given fair leadership.
Lawan who believes the unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable added that the people must not be neglected when they complain, The Nation reports.
Presidency finally replies secession agitators
The Senate president’s statement re-echoes the views of the presidency on secession.
In an earlier report by Legit.ng, the presidency reacted to secession agitators in the country, saying nobody can bring down the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, described the secession agitators as “charlatans†sponsored to bully the president thinking he will cower or panic.
Calls for secession has heightened in recent weeks. A popular Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, recently declared an independent Yoruba nation, claiming that he has the backing of the monarchs in the region.
