Unusual?? Atiku Commends Merger Plan, Congratulates Tinubu


Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has commended opposition parties in the country for coming together to form one united political front, under the umbrella of All Progressive Congress (APC). In a congratulatory message, he sent on the occasion of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s 61st birthday, Abubakar lauded efforts by opposition parties which gave rise to a merger, describing it as an important step in the right direction.
According to him, “The merger of a number of opposition parties, which gave rise to the All Progressive Congress, is therefore, an important step in the right direction. A strong and viable opposition party is critical for the deepening and survival of democracy”.

He noted that this year’s annual Bola Tinubu colloquium, with the theme, “Beyond the Merger, A National Movement for Change” rightly indicates more works need to be done to make the merger work and help strengthen our democracy and improve governance in the country.
