The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 general elections, Atiku Abubakar, on Monday, revealed his role in restoring and promoting democracy in Nigeria, a role which he claims to have shared with Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress.

Atiku said he and Tinubu have come a long way in the drive to restore and promote democracy in Nigeria.

Referring to Tinubu as a brother and friend, Atiku prayed that God grants Tinubu long life and more vigour in the quest for a better Nigeria.

The former Vice President stated this while celebrating Tinubu on his 69th birthday.

In a series of tweets, the former Vice President wished Tinubu more vigour in his quest for good governance in Nigeria.

He wrote:

“Asiwaju Bola Tinubu @AsiwajuTinubu and I have come a long way in the common mission to restore and promote democracy in Nigeria.

“On this special occasion of your birthday, I pray to the Almighty Allah to grant you long life and more vigour to keep the march on in the quest for good governance and a better life for our people. Congratulations, dear friend and brother.”
