Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has congratulated former Vice-President and PDP’s Presidential Candidate in the 2023 general election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on his 77th birth anniversary.

In a congratulatory message in Asaba by Sir Festus Ahon, his Chief Press Secretary, the governor commended Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for his extraordinary political and economic endeavours that have contributed to the nation’s prosperity and togetherness.

Oborevwori remarked that the Wazirin Adamawa’s unwavering commitment to freeing Nigeria from the chains of underdevelopment and bad governance was admirable and really deserving of praise.

He observed that Atiku Abubakar was clearly nationalistic and that his involvement in defending and advancing democracy in Nigeria, as well as his astute and persistent advice on national matters, was admirably remarkable and had a significant impact.

According to Oborevwori, Atiku is still unquestionably a detribalized Nigerian and a unifier whose kindness has improved many lives by bridging socioeconomic class, party boundaries, gender, ethnicity, and religion.

The Governor said: “On behalf of the government and people of Delta State, I congratulate our great leader and former Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, GCON, as he celebrates his 77th birth anniversary.

“You have amply demonstrated what you preach by creating opportunities for people to make a living through your massive investments in education, agriculture, media, hospitality, water and oil and gas and these have continued to add to our nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and poverty reduction in the country.

“As a generous benefactor and exceptional statesman, you dominated Nigeria’s political scene like a behemoth by garnering widespread support throughout the nation.

“As our beloved former Vice President clocks 77 years old today, it is my prayer and that of all Deltans and Nigerians that God continue to strengthen him in his devotion to ensuring better peace, good governance, and long-lasting democracy in Nigeria and beyond”.
