Former New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has disclosed that General Theophilus Danjuma (rtd.) carried the weight of Nigeria’s destiny on his shoulders with courage and unwavering patriotism.
Kwankwaso said TY Danjuma has become a guardian of national values, investing in education, and supporting generations of emerging leaders.
He made the remark while celebrating Danjuma on his 87th birthday.
In a birthday message, Kwankwaso said: “With deep respect and profound admiration, I celebrate a distinguished icon of our national history, General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma (Rtd), as you attain the remarkable age of 87.
“Few individuals have carried the weight of Nigeria’s destiny on their shoulders with such courage, clarity and unwavering patriotism as you have.
“Your service in the armed forces, your role in preserving national unity during critical moments of our history, and your lifelong commitment to the peace and security of our nation stand as a testament to leadership anchored in honour.
“Beyond the uniform and the battlefield, you have become a guardian of national values, investing in education, empowering communities, championing justice and supporting generations of emerging leaders.
“Your philanthropy through the TY Danjuma Foundation has become a lifeline to many who may never meet you but continue to feel the impact of your heart.
“Nigeria salutes you, not merely for your years but for your years of meaning. You remind us that greatness is not proclaimed but proven through sacrifice, service and an unshakeable belief in the future of the nation.
“As you mark 87 today, I pray that Almighty Allah continues to preserve you in strength, good health and tranquillity. May He reward your patriotism, grant you more fruitful years and keep you as a light and guide for our country in these defining times. Many happy returns.”
