Former Nigerian Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has penned an initimate message to former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, in celebration of his birthday.
This is coming amid the disputed African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Primaries which pitched both political figures against each other alongside Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, their fellow aspirant for the party’s presidential ticket.
NPO Reported that the ADC primaries became subject of dispute amid collation of results on Tuesday.
While Hayatu-Deen had earlier announced plan to boycott the final collation of the result in Abuja over alleged vote rigging, Amaechi had also faulted the conduct of the election.
The former Rivers state governor who clocks 61 on Wednesday rejected the results of the election as announced by some of the states.
Amaechi alleged voters’ disenfranchisement during the poll which sees Atiku leading him and Hayatu-Deen with a wide margin.
Despite the ongoing dispute, Atiku took to his X handle to celebrate Amaechi.
He commended him for his works during his tenure as Rivers governor.
“Happy Birthday to my brother and fellow patriot, H.E. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, @ChibuikeAmaechi.
“Your courage, conviction, and years of service to Rivers State and Nigeria continue to inspire many across the nation.
“I wish you good health, strength, and many more years of impactful service to our dear country.” Atiku wrote.
