Buhari Greets Tola Adeniyi, Journalist, Writer At 75

- From Terhemba Daka, Abuja

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has rejoiced with family, friends and colleagues of renowned writer, journalist, columnist, actor, dancer, and dramatist, Akogun Tola Adeniyi, as he turns 75.

The President also congratula­ted the entire pen fraternity on the landmark birthday of the man, who made writing look so fluid and easy through his column, Aba Saheed, which was a compelling read, as he plied his trade for decades at Sketch Newspapers, Nigerian Tribune, Daily Times of Nigeria, and many others, where he held top editorial positions as Editor- inChief/ Chief Executive Officer.

Buhari equally saluted his business acumen, which led him to set up the Canada Africa Chamber of Commerce in 1996.

“I wish this irrepressi­ble writer and columnist good health, longer life, and greater contributi­ons to our dear country,” the President said.
