Atiku, while celebrating with Obasanjo as he clocks 82 today, described the ex-president as the \u201conly living Nigerian that has given much to Nigeria\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to him, Obasanjo has given so much to Nigeria in \u201cpeacetime and at war\u201d.<\/p>\n

The former Vice President, on his Twitter page, wrote: \u201cOn 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay almighty God grant you many more years in good health and continued service to Nigeria and the world at large.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Obasanjo has, however, remained silent since the presidential result was announced with President Muhammadu Buhari re-elected.<\/p>\n
