Tinubu extols Atiku@78, says ex-VP active player in democracy

President Bola Tinubu has recalled the moments shared with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as founding members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying they were united in the mission to build a better future for Nigerians.

While acknowledging their engagement as political opponents in the 2023 presidential election, he said Atiku, who was the PDP presidential candidate in the election, has been an active player in Nigeria’s democratic process since the return to civilian rule in 1999.

Tinubu also recognised Atiku’s commitment to public service and philanthropy and prayed that Almighty Allah to continue to grant him health and happiness in the years ahead.

This was contained in his congratulatory message to Atiku on his 78th birthday, signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
