"As the President of Nigeria in the last two years, you have demonstrated astute leadership and as you advocate for democratic values and bold economic reforms that have started to yield dividends. With you in the driving seat, Nigeria is in safe hands and Nigerians could not have made a better choice in 2023.

"As you mark this special day in this period of Ramadan, I pray that the Almighty Allah grants you continued wisdom, strength and good health to steer our nation towards greater heights.

"Please accept my warmest congratulations and happy birthday, Mr. President".
