Niger State governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago, has congratulated his predecessor and senator representing Niger North senatorial district, Sen. Abubakar Sani Bello, on his 57th birthday, noting his immense humility.
In a birthday message through his chief press secretary, Bologi Ibrahim, the governor described the celebrant “as an icon of humility, easy going and free-minded personality”.
He recounted the efforts of Sani Bello towards the growth and development of the state when he governed the state from 2015 to 2023.
The governor observed that the celebrant, being the first in Niger State to have served as governor for eight years and immediately got elected as a senator, is a testament of his service to humanity.
He also recounted how Sani Bello has been actively contributing to nation-building and providing purposeful leadership to the Niger North senatorial district in particular and the state at large.
Similarly, the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Niger State council recognised the milestone achieved by the former governor in his public and private life.
In a congratulatory message signed by the council secretary Usman Chiji on behalf of the union, the council noted with satisfaction that Senator Abubakar Sani Bello has been a pillar and supporter of any initiative that will foster development, peace and unity.
The union specifically recognised his “respectable public conduct, respect for the role of the media and simplicity even with the seduction of power that intoxicates many political actors”.
