President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Reuben Abati, journalist and former presidential adviser, on his 60th birthday.
Tinubu described Abati as a public intellectual who has
distinguished himself in journalism, academia and public service.
In a statement on Friday, the president said Abati has
excelled as a writer, columnist, broadcaster and media executive.
He noted that Abati served the country as special adviser on
media and publicity to former President Goodluck Jonathan.
“His insightful articles, regular interventions and
television analyses have continued to enlighten and inspire,” Tinubu said.
The president also praised Abati’s contributions to national
discourse, saying his “creativity, versatility and cross-sectoral experience”
remain evident in his work.
Tinubu congratulated Abati on the launch of three new books
to commemorate his birthday.
The books are titled ‘Portraits: People, Politics and
Society’, ‘A Love Letter and Other Stories’, and ‘How Goodluck Jonathan Became
President’.
He joined the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), the
Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), family and friends in celebrating Abati.
Tinubu prayed for God to grant the journalist “longer life,
good health and continued inspiration”.
On Thursday, Tinubu celebrated Olusegun Adeniyi, former
spokesperson to the late President Umaru Yar’Adua, on his 60th birthday.
The president praised Adeniyi for his contributions to
journalism and scholarship, describing him as one of the nation’s “prolific
chroniclers”.
