What is the indirect narration of " he said,'Good morning John.'" Whether it is "he wished john good morning" or "he greeted john good morning." Which one is correct.?

1You can't use greet to introduce indirect speech like that, so it has to be wished. (NB John always needs a capital letter.)– Kate BuntingFeb 28 at 16:44

There isn't necessarily just one way to make speech indirect.
The most obvious way to me is:
He wished John a good morning.
Without the article I would be inclined to consider it direct speech and would punctuate it like this:
He wished John, "Good morning."
