He affirmed that the wise counsel of the elder statesman had been most candid and helpful for the country.
The president noted that as Sen. Ken Nnamani joins the septuagenarian club his wealth of experience in both the private and public sectors of the country will be most useful in moving the country forward.
He expressed the belief that Nnamani’s uncompromising position on deepening the culture of democracy and good governance had remained an asset.
He prayed for longer life, strength and good health for the former Senate President so that he would keep “serving the country he loves so much.’’
