President Bola Tinubu has congratulated former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, on his 60th birthday, describing him as a dedicated bridge-builder and a stabilising influence in Nigeria’s political arena.
In a statement released on Friday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President commended Metuh’s contributions to national cohesion, calling him “a significant voice of reason at a time of cacophony.”
Metuh, who turns 60 on Saturday, served as PDP spokesman between 2012 and 2016 and has in recent years been actively involved in peace-building initiatives across partisan and ethnic lines.
Tinubu praised the former party spokesman’s efforts in promoting dialogue and understanding among Nigeria’s diverse political actors, urging him to remain steadfast in contributing to national development. The President also celebrated Metuh’s humanitarian engagements and prayed for his continued well-being.
“The president… prays that he enjoys many more decades in robust health,” the statement added.
A trained lawyer and businessman, Metuh has remained an influential figure in Nigeria’s political discourse, often emphasising reconciliation and unity. Tinubu wished him a joyful birthday and renewed strength as he marked this milestone age.
