The First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, on Tuesday described the life of His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, as a glowing testimony of wisdom.
Jonathan made the remark in a statement issued in Abuja by the Director of Information in the Presidency, Mrs Ayotunde Adesugba, congratulating Onaiyekan ahead of his 70th birthday.
Onaiyekan was born on Jan. 29, 1944 and will be 70 years on Wednesday.
“A life of humility, effective leadership and outstanding service in the vineyard of the Lord and his many accomplishments will forever be written in marble,’’ the first lady said of the priest.
She urged all Nigerians to embrace the virtues of service and humility that the Almighty confers on those who serve Him.
Jonathan prayed that the Lord would continue to increase the cardinal’s divine blessings as his years increase. (NAN)
