Former Vice-President Atiku
Abubakar has described ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo as one of the greatest
Nigerians alive.
While felicitating with the
former president on his 82nd birthday, Atiku said no Nigerian alive has done as
much as Obasanjo did for the country.
The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) presidential candidate said, who served as Obasanjo’s deputy for eight
years, also wished him good health and continued service to the nation.
Writing via his Twitter handle on
Tuesday, he said: “A 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.”

Atiku fell out with Obasanjo
during his second term in office.
His reported presidential
ambition had pitched him against Obasanjo who was said to be nurturing a third
term in office.
The duo, however, reconciled in
the build up of the presidential election after Obasanjo endorsed him.
