President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Gen. Theophilus Danjuma on his birthday, saying that at 88, the retired General stands as an elder whose life has helped shape the direction of our nation.
President Tinubu said Gen. T.Y. Danjuma, as he is fondly
called, has lived with purpose and served with courage – essential qualities
that define the finest citizens of our republic.
The President in the tribute said: “General Theophilus
Yakubu Danjuma (rtd), who turns 88th today, is a distinguished statesman,
soldier, and gentleman who, in peacetime and war, served our country with
undivided loyalty.
“This is a moment that invites reflection on a remarkable
life of service and on the many seasons he has walked through with courage and
conviction.
“General Danjuma’s story is tied to our country’s story. He
served Nigeria at a time when our young nation faced severe trials. He stood
firm when unity was fragile, and the path ahead was uncertain.
“His sense of duty helped steady the country, and his record
of service remains a reference point for discipline and honour.
“Beyond his years in uniform, he has continued to shape the
national conversation through wise counsel and personal example. Any time he
speaks on national issues, he does so with unmistakable clarity and an
unwavering belief in Nigeria.”
Continuing, he said: “Many leaders, including me, have drawn
strength from General Danjuma’s willingness to offer guidance whenever the
moment required a steady voice.
“His commitment to humanity has also left a lasting mark.
Through the T. Y. Danjuma Foundation, he opened doors for countless families in
need of support and dignity.
“The work he started through the foundation has grown into
one of the most respected philanthropic institutions on the continent. Its
impact will remain long after all of us have left the stage.
“At eighty-eight, he stands as an elder whose life has
helped shape the direction of our nation. He has lived with purpose and served
with courage – essential qualities that define the finest citizens of our
republic.
“As General Danjuma celebrates this birthday, I thank
Almighty God for the grace that has carried him through the years. I pray that
He continues to bless him with health, strength and peace.
“May the years ahead bring greater fulfilment and the quiet
satisfaction of knowing that his life has touched many across Nigeria.”
