According to the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, Buhari said he joins family, friends, and associates to celebrate with Dabiri-Erewa, who he described as a patriot, whose passion to serve keeps leading her to greater heights.
President Buhari affirmed that the renowned journalist, who was elected member of the House of Representatives in 2003, 2007, and 2011, continues to define exemplary leadership with every opportunity, following the trajectory of lifting up others, putting the spotlight on the vulnerable, and giving voice to the voiceless.
