Former President, Olusegun
Obasanjo has said his former deputy, Atiku Abubakar and presidential candidate
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), deserves to be celebrated.
Obasanjo said this on Sunday, at
the turbaning of Atiku as the seventh Wazirin Adamawa by the Lamido of Adamawa,
Mustapha Barkindo.
He also hailed his former deputy,
for jointly dealing with national and international affairs with him, while
they were at the helms of affairs.
“Even when we were in Abuja and
we were dealing with national and international affairs, you did not take it
lightly the cultural affairs at home.
“So, you more than deserve this
celebration and I will plead that the way you had carried the office you held
in the past, you will carry the one that you have now. No matter what
responsibility you may have at the national or the international level, east or
west, home is the best.
“If the occasion we are having
today is an acknowledgement that home has given to you and you must do
everything to show the home that you appreciate the honour that has been done
to you,” Obasanjo said.
Other dignitaries who were at
turbaning of Atiku include former President, Goodluck Jonathan; Senate
President, Bukola Saraki; the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu
Dogara and some serving PDP governors.
