PRESIDENT BUHARI SALUTES GENERAL GOWON AT 86, DESCRIBES HIM AS A GALLANT PATRIOT

President Muhammadu Buhari has described former military Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon as "a gallant patriot whose commitment to national unity is beyond comparison in the annals of our chequered history."

In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday to mark the occasion of his 86th birthday anniversary, President Buhari remarked that "the role General Yakubu Gowon played in our political history and infrastructure development is etched in stone and cannot be rewritten."
Buhari said "as young military officers, many of us regarded General Gowon as our role model because of his patriotism, commitment to unity and his humility."

According to the President, "the Nigerian civil war brought out the most brilliant qualities of General Gowon as a visionary leader who put the interest of Nigeria before his own personal interest."
He noted that "the former Head of State led a very impressive national reconciliation effort at the end of the civil war in order to heal the bitter emotional and psychological wounds of the fratricidal conflict."

President Buhari added that "General Gowon is one of the fairest leaders I have ever known who has inspired so many future leaders."

"Even in the context of Africa, many leaders in the continent draw inspiration from his adroit handling of the outcome of the civil war through his policy of ‘No Victor, No Vanquished,’" he further stated.

"As he marks 86 years of age, Nigerians cannot forget General Gowon's immeasurable contributions to the unity and development of Nigeria. May God continue to bless him with more good health and the needed strength in understanding his ongoing spiritual engagements and service to humanity," the President prayed.

[/s] useless old men.

God bless General Gowon may he live to be 120 years with blessings and sound health. Great Leader. Nigeria's best President.

Lol. Fulanis are panicky now. They're looking for allies in the middlebelt to use as cannon fodder. Will Gowon be foolish for the second time? After slaughtering thousands of Plateau people, they're stylishly begging for support. Hahahahaha... your end is here.
Let Buhari send his son Yusuf to the battle front. Buratai too should do likewise... We want to see how brave they are. Nonsense...
Fulanis your time is up. Surrender for your own survival.

If Gowon was the best president, why did Murtala Mohammed kick him out? Do you support the action of Murtala?

So because Buhari salute Yakubu Gowon I should now go on exile abi?
Garba Shehu is a fool

Thank God that it was Gowon who fought the Civil War and not Muritala.

Please what is gallant about Gowon?
Notoorious war crime criminal even known to man

Get your facts right, Gowon isn't a war criminal. Blame, col. Adekunle. Muritala. Shuwa. Obasanjo. Buhari. Ibb. Yar'adua and Ojukwu and Achuzia and others for the massacre of your people.

A usual idiotic rhetoric which establishes no logical character. The dunce, as in the case of most Nigerians, cannot strike a difference between unity and union.

Christistruth00:

Of course you have a cause to rejoice because you had a fool who used his people to fight for your cause. Remind me how he was rewarded? Lol. He was kicked out unceremoniously and when his kinsmen (Dimka & co) noticed the huge trick, they wasted no time in wasting Murtala.
Today, you've got another fool in Simon Lalong who has failed to learn from history. However his people are educated this time around and won't let him drag them into your fight. You should be bold enough to fight for yourselves now.

Yujin:

Christistruth00, you didn't answer my questions? Are you scared or you don't know that part of history?

Are you now better than them?
