The New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) has
felicitated with Niger State Governor, His Excellency Dr. Babangida Aliyu, on the occasion of his 58th birthday on November 12, 2013, describing
him as a good example of the kind of leader Nigeria needs at this period.
The party in a statement
signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, nPDP
said that Nigeria would be a better placed if those in leadership positions in
the country could emulate Governor Aliyu.
“It is not for nothing that Dr. Babangida Aliyu chose
to be addressed as The Chief Servant rather than as His Excellency, The
Executive Governor. Dr. Aliyu is humility
and modesty personified. Despite his great learning and intimidating track
record as a civil servant, administrator and political juggernaut, Dr. Aliyu remains humble to a fault,” Chief Eze
said in a statement signed on behalf of nPDP National Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar
Kawu Baraje.
He further described Governor Aliyu as a bold and courageous democrat who
hates injustice in any form and is committed towards entrenching true democracy
in the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as well as to the survival and
growth of democracy in Nigeria.
“This explains why The Chief
Servant has distinguished himself as the pillar of our just struggle to reclaim
our great party, the PDP, from the hands of political soldiers of fortune who
now hold it hostage, so as to pave the way for the realisation of the vision of
the founding fathers of the party. Dr. Aliyu is indeed, a rare patriot, a
detribalised and selfless leader, a first-class statesman,” the statement
added.
New PDP wished Governor Aliyu a happy birthday while praying for
Almighty God to grant him many more years of life and good health to enable him
continue his good work.
