No Birthday Greetings From Buhari To Dangote This Year?

It appears Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote did not get any open birthday greetings from President Muhammadu Buhari this year.

The Chairman of Dangote group turned 66 on Monday, April 10, 2023.

The checks by SocietyNow.Ng revealed contrary to previous editions the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina and the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu did not post any press statement celebrating Dangote’s birthday by the president on their social media platforms at press time.

The two media aides have turned the celebration of the birthdays of notable Nigerians and condolences to “deserving persons” through press statements by President Buhari into the norm. Even when the President is outside the country.

They usually sign the press statements and post on their social media platforms hours to or very early on the day of the birthday of the person of interest.

Checks by SocietyNow.Ng, however, revealed Dangote is yet to get any such mention on the “dedicated platforms” a day after his birthday.
