The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has hailed ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo for his
contributions to Nigeria as a whole.
Atiku, while celebrating with Obasanjo as he clocks 82 today, described the
ex-president as the “only living Nigerian that has given much to Nigeria”.
According to him, Obasanjo has given
so much to Nigeria in “peacetime and at war”.
The former Vice President, on his Twitter page, wrote: “On his very happy 82nd
birthday to you, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. No living Nigerian has given as much
to Nigeria in peacetime and in war as you have.
“May almighty God grant you many more
years in good health and continued service to Nigeria and the world at large.”
Recall that the former president had
before the presidential election made a U-turn and endorsed Atiku Abubakar whom
he earlier accused and condemned over corruption claims.
Obasanjo has, however, remained
silent since the presidential result was announced with President Muhammadu
Buhari re-elected.
