[Wikimedia-l] Re: Wikimedia Deutschland’s new Executive Director: Christian Humborg

[Olushola Olaniyan]

I am just this cheerful news.

Thank you, Lukas, for sharing this news.

 I am super excited about this news, and i wish to congratulate Christian
for achieving the feat.

I cannot forget in a hurry the support provided by you and your team during
the time of my case with the German embassy in Nigeria. Though the case
lasted for over two years yet i was eventually justified.

I, therefore, wish you the very best in your tenure as the new ED,
Wikimedia Deutschland.

Regards

Olaniyan Olushola
