The governor wished the President more strength as he continued to make the country proud, and wished him a long life so that he could continue to engrave Nigeria with his “mercurial personality.”
Buhari, who turned 79 years old today, celebrated his birthday in Istanbul, Turkey, where he will attend President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s 3rd Turkey-Africa Partnership Summit.
Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu, said the President began the day by cutting his 79th birthday cake, which was shaped in national colors of green, white, and green, before chairing a planning meeting with officials in his delegation and then driving to the Dolmabahce Palace for a meeting with his Turkish counterpart, Erdogan.

At the end of his term, Buhari promised to hand over to a successor and return to his farm to tend to his crops and livestock.
