“We will keep reminding Nigerians about what we have done, how we met the country, what we were able to do from the time we came in to now with the resources available to us,” he said.
The ceremony began with a special rendition that ushered the president into the forecourt where the special parade was mounted by the guards brigade.
This was then followed by a special performance by the silent drill squad of the brigade, which included the formation of words like PMB @ 76
The brigade band also wished the president “Happy Birthday’’ with their musical gadgets.
