President Bola Tinubu congratulates former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso on his 70th birthday, saying their political differences will not reduce his affection for him. The messages are issued as congratulatory statements and describe Kwankwaso as a long-standing associate or friend.
Across the outlets, the reporting is largely consistent: Tinubu sends birthday greetings, calls Kwankwaso a longstanding political associate, and frames the message around personal regard despite differing political paths. Daily Post Nigeria adds that the message is released by Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga.
Vanguard similarly highlights that Tinubu’s “political differences” will not diminish his affection and identifies Kwankwaso with multiple roles, including referencing him as a former minister of defence. The Punch presents the story more briefly, focusing mainly on the celebration and the “longstanding political associate” description.
