Former Kaduna state Governor, Nasir el-Rufa’I has claimed that some individuals where shamed to send him birthday wishes after President Bola Tinubu did.
El-Rufa’I who turned 65 recently made this known on his verified Facebook handle on Monday morning.
In a post, MONDAY MESSAGE, the politician who is at loggerheads with his party, the All ProgressivesCongress, APC, wrote: “I want to thank everyone that sent me their prayers and best wishes, including those that didn’t want to, until President Tinubu’s message shamed them into action. May the Almighty God accepts our prayers and continue to shower his blessings on us and our people.”
According to him, “the prayers and good wishes were quite humbling and gratifying, but far too many and overwhelming for individual acknowledgment or response by me, hence this message.
“I have tried to repost, retweet and share all the birthday messages I received, but as an imperfect mortal, I am sure I couldn’t have done all. If I didn’t with yours, please forgive me. It is an omission of the head, not of the heart.
“May Almighty Allah grant us even longer life, in good health, happiness and prosperity, in a Nigeria that flourishes as a beacon of progressive governance, democracy and equal opportunity for all.”
