Abuja – President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with the Yoruba Tennis Club as it celebrates its 90th anniversary.
Message of the felicitation is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity,
Mr Femi Adesina.
Adesina stated that President Buhari joined the Lagos State Government, all members of the club and teeming supporters in marking the unique milestone of the oldest club in Nigeria, which was established in 1926.
Buhari commended the “visionary leadership, innovative spirit and the brotherliness among members that sustained the club since it was first conceptualised as an informal organisation of tennis lovers to a formal and cosmopolitan group with a strong global appeal.”

unity and national cohesion.
The President wished the club “a joyous and memorable anniversary.”
