This has made him a political pathfinder, leader of leaders, and a legend in his own lifetime. Today, he is not just a principal actor in Nigerian politics, but also one of the main issues.“I wish the Jagaban Borgu a happy birthday and many more years of impactful service to our beloved fatherland, Nigeria, and its great people,”
