He said Gowon had continued to provide inspiration to the nation’s leadership and development, through his commitment to the unity, peace and progress of the country from his military career till date.

He thanked the former Nigerian leader for his patriotism.

The chairman urged the former Head of State to continue to deploy his wealth of experience and knowledge in the pursuit of unity and national integration, especially as the nation was undergoing challenges.

He wished Gowon good health, God’s grace and divine strength.

Gowon was born on Oct. 19, 1934, in Pankshin Local Government Area of Plateau.

He was Nigeria’s military leader, who served as Head of State from 1967 to 1975. (NAN)
