A national leader of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has asserted that Nigeria
needs people like former vice president, Atiku
Abubakar to make life more meaningful for
Nigerians.
In a letter to felicitate with the former vice
president on his 70th birthday, Tinubu described
the Turakin Adamawa as a man of faith, saying faith
has kept him going and waxing strong.
In the letter he personally signed, the former Lagos
governor urged Atiku to accept that “there is a tide
in the affairs of men”.
Tinubu wrote: “I write to felicitate with you on the
attainment of the proverbial age of three scores
and ten, 70. Your life has been a life of service to
your people, your country and the causes you
believe in. Nigeria has been well-served by your
stewardship and leadership.
“Your steadfastness in walking the democratic path
sets you apart as a leader with substance.
“Your passion for education has seen you invest
your time and resources in education, knowing full
well that when you educate people, you educate a
nation.
“You are a man of faith. Your faith has kept you
going and kept you strong. I urge you to accept that
there is a tide in the affairs of men. You must
continue to serve Nigeria well even as a private
citizen and a notable leader.
“Do not relent because Nigeria needs you and
others like you to continue to make life more
meaningful. We must continue to explore common
grounds towards promoting the common good.
“I pray for a long life and continued good health for
Turaki Adamawa, Atiku Abubakar”.
Recall that reports recently had it that both men are
allegedly plotting to float a new political party
ahead of the 2019 elections.
