President Bola Tinubu has congratulated former Kano State Governor and presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, on his 70th birthday, saying their political differences would not diminish his affection for the former minister.
Tinubu, in a birthday message issued by his Spokesman, Bayo Onanuga on Wednesday, described Kwankwaso as a longstanding associate whose political relationship with him dates back to their time in the National Assembly in 1992.
The president recalled that while Kwankwaso served in the House of Representatives, he was a member of the Senate, adding that their relationship continued in 1999 when both emerged as governors of their respective states.
“As members of the Class of ’99 Governors, we both played pivotal roles in laying the foundation for the democracy the nation enjoys today,” Tinubu said.
He noted that their political paths had differed over the years before they came together in 2013 to form the All Progressives
