Former President Muhammadu Buhari has assured his successor of full support to the success of his administration.
The former president gave the assurance during a telephone conversation with President Bola Tinubu during which he congratulated the Tinubu on his 72nd birthday.
This was disclosed in a terse statement on Friday by the former presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, saying Buhari also prayed for sound health of Tinubu.

“In this regard, President Buhari prayed profusely for Tinubu’s success, saying that praying for a leader is imperative as his success and well-being are for the nation (everyone), adding that the accomplishments of the new administration must be seen as national achievements.”
