<p>In a statement he personally issued, to celebrate General Gowon at 90, president Tinubu says the celebrant&#8217;s sterling example remains a beacon of hope and inspiration for those in government, encouraging them to do their best for the country.</p>
<p>Acknowledging the former head of state as a gentleman extraordinaire, one of the longest-serving Nigerian leaders, the President describes him as a brilliant officer trained at Sandhurst and reluctantly became Nigeria’s leader at 32, and whose his life-story has inspired many Nigerians.</p>
<p>The president significantly acknowledged his philosophy of &#8220;No victor, no vanquished&#8221;, which helped promote national healing, peace, and reconciliation after the country&#8217;s civil war.</p>

<p>President Tinubu says since he became the nation&#8217;s leader, General Gowon has been his counsellor, offering advice when needed.</p>
<p>He recalls his role when the ECOWAS had a misunderstanding with some of the Sahelian states, calling for moderation from all sides for the sake of ECOWAS unity.</p>
<p>The president says General Gowon has continued to deploy his &#8220;Nigeria Prays&#8217; Programme in prayer and intercession for the country while also suing for religious tolerance, peace, harmony and stability in the land, Which he points at as a further testament to his belief in the unity and togetherness of Nigeria.</p>
<p>President Tinubu prays that God Almighty will imbue General Gowon with more wisdom and grant him good health and more years to continue to be useful to Nigeria and humanity.</p>
