Nigeria’s president Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday clocked 75 years of age. He was born on December 17, 1942.
Even though President Buhari described it as a landmark age, he didn’t celebrate the day with a fanfare. He didn’t even want the regular military parade that should follow such huge celebration.

Rather, he prefers to spend the day with close relatives.

Meanwhile, Nigerians have taken to Twitter and other social media to celebrate the president on his landmark birthday with the hashtag #PMBAt75.

Here are some of the messages.

These two pictures are easily my favorite throwbacks of Mr President. Forget the lanky legs, Mr President might just be a stepper. #PMBat75 pic.twitter.com/fyHV7r7bc8
