Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda PhD CON, extends warm felicitations to former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (Rtd), GCFR, on the momentous occasion of his 90th birthday.
Governor Radda describes General Gowon as a distinguished elder statesman whose commitment to Nigeria’s unity, particularly during the challenging period of the Civil War, continues to inspire generations of Nigerians.
“General Gowon’s leadership during Nigeria’s most testing times, and his subsequent dedication to peace through his ‘Nigeria Prays’ initiative, exemplifies the spirit of true patriotism,” Governor Radda remarked.
The Governor particularly commends General Gowon’s post-war reconciliation policy of ‘No Victor, No Vanquished,’ which he notes was instrumental in healing the nation’s wounds and fostering the reintegration that followed the civil war.
“At 90, General Gowon remains a living legend whose life’s work centers on the unity, peace, and progress of our dear nation. His dedication to Nigeria’s corporate existence and his continued prayers for our nation’s prosperity deserve our collective appreciation,” the Governor added.
Governor Radda prays for General Gowon’s continued good health and divine grace.
