To celebrate his big day, every member of his family surprisingly gathered in his home in Bayelsa, as they thank God for sparing his life to see a new year.

With so much joy in his heart, Goodluck wrote,

“My family has been an integral part of my life’s journey; they have been my strength and a source of my success,”

“This morning they did something unusual, from all corners of the town they assembled in my home offering prayers and thanksgiving to God for the gift of life.”

The president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari also took to twitter to celebrate the former president.

His tweets reads,

“Nigeria specially appreciates the dedication that has kept Dr. Jonathan working most recently as ECOWAS envoy to bring peace to the Republic of Mali. I pray that the Almighty God will grant him longer life, good health and more wisdom to keep serving the nation and humanity.

“On behalf of the Federal Government, and Nigerians in general, I congratulate former President @GEJonathan on his 63rd birthday, today. We celebrate a life of service that has brought honour and goodwill to Nigeria.”
