Happy 66th Birthday to our dear father, His Excellency, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
I have said this before and I will say it again. I also love to proudly say it.
One of the greatest honours of my life is being called your son. You are an impeccable administrator, a courageous leader, a bold reformer and a fantastic father.
No son could have asked for a better father. As you turn 66, I pray that Allah SWT continues to guide, protect and bless you.
Our love and loyalty to you is permanent and pensionable. And here’s a timely reminder you always told us, Quranic verse, (Surah Al-Anfal 8: 30). ‘They plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners.’
On behalf of the excellent people of Kaduna North that I proudly represent based on the good traits you taught me.
We celebrate the father of Modern Kaduna and the original restorer of the Abuja Master Plan, as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
I hope you are appreciating all the natural love from people that you have never even met. You truly deserve it after years of excellent service to our nation.
Hon. Mohammed Bello El-Rufai
Member. Your beloved son.
