In a commendatory gesture, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lauded its 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the occasion of his 77th birthday.
Described as a quintessential humane leader, Atiku’s unwavering love for Nigeria has earned praise from the opposition party.
PDP’s spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, expressed the party’s pride in Atiku’s noteworthy record of service to Nigerians.
Ologunagba’s statement highlighted Atiku Abubakar as a paragon of humility, a compassionate and people-focused leader, and a resolute statesman committed to the unity, stability, and development of Nigeria.
The spokesman emphasized Atiku’s significant role as the Chairman of the National Economic Council during the Obasanjo/Atiku-led PDP administration from 1999 to 2007.
This period, marked by unprecedented national productivity, saw the Nigerian economy flourish and become one of the fastest-growing globally.
The statement acknowledged Atiku’s contributions to infrastructural development, substantial employment generation, and the creation of business opportunities during his tenure.
The PDP hailed Atiku as a unifying figure and the beacon of hope for economic recovery, citing the overwhelming support he received from Nigerians in the 2019 and 2023 Presidential elections.
Despite facing challenges and the alleged subversion of his mandates, Atiku Abubakar is portrayed as a leadership exemplar.
His humility, accessibility, and dedication to the well-being of Nigerians, particularly the youth, were underscored in the statement.
The PDP lamented the missed opportunity for economic prosperity, extensive infrastructural development, and increased employment opportunities, attributing the current challenges in the country to the alleged subversion of Atiku’s mandates.
