His supporters have called him "the scourge of irresponsible governments, a thermometer with which the blood pressure of dictators is gauged, the veritable conscience of the nation and the champion of the interests and causes of the masses". - Wikipedia
According to a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the President (Communications), Segun Adeniyi, President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua telephoned Chief Gani Fawehinmi, this afternoon in London, from Germany, and wished him a speedy recovery from the ailment which has kept him away from the several events lined up back home in Nigeria to celebrate his attainment of the grand age of seventy years.

The President prayed that God should, in His infinite mercies, strengthen the leading democracy and human rights advocate, and grant him many more years of commendable contributions to the entrenchment of democracy, the rule of law, good governance, justice and equity in Nigeria.

He assured Chief Fawehinmi of the goodwill of his Administration and the best wishes of all Nigerians.
