Buhari congratulates Falana at 60

President Muhammadu Buhari has sent warm greetings to “erudite lawyer and human rights activist,” Mr Femi Falana, SAN, on his 60th birthday.

A statement issued in Abuja on Saturday by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity), said President Buhari joined family members, friends and professional colleagues of the cerebral lawyer in celebrating the milestone, which has been marked with honours and awards for forthrightness and advocacy for the good of every Nigerian.

Buhari commended Mr Falana’s sense of patriotism over the years, and his advisory roles to leaders, institutions and governments, especially on the value of good governance.

As the legal luminary turns 60, the President expressed his belief that his antecedents have been most exemplary and commendable in advocating for a better life for the poor and underprivileged.

President Buhari prayed that the Almighty God will grant the human rights lawyer longer life, good health and more wisdom to keep serving the country.
