Tinubu Celebrates Ex-VP Sambo At 71

President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Mohammed Namadi Sambo, elder statesman and former vice president of Nigeria, on his 71st birthday on Saturday, August 2.

President Tinubu, in a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, described the former vice president as a man of integrity and loyalty who is deeply committed to Nigeria’s unity and stability.

He noted that as a prominent leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sambo worked closely with President Jonathan, serving with dedication and maintaining a relationship of mutual respect in and out of office.

Tinubu appreciates Architect Sambo’s continued leadership and statesmanship in Nigeria and the West African sub-region, including his support for Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, in advancing religious tolerance, peace, and stability statewide.

Sambo led the ECOWAS Observation Mission to Ghana’s December 2024 Presidential Elections and before it, he headed a similar mission in the Republic of Niger in December 2020 and the run-off poll in that country in February 2021.
