President Muhammadu Buhari has warmly congratulated Pope Francis as he turns 80 on Saturday, December 17, 2016.

In a statement by his special adviser media, Femi Adesina, the President joins the Roman Catholic Church in particular, and Christendom in general, in celebrating this milestone in the life of the Pontiff, who has shown uncommon humility, generosity and love for humanity.

“The president assures that the teachings of His Holiness on peace, love and tolerance in a world embroiled in conflicts will not be lost on leaders, and will continue to resonate through many generations.
