Atiku Celebrates Kwankwaso at 68, Hails His Legacy and Patriotism
Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has extended his heartfelt congratulations to his long-time ally and fellow political figure, Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, as he celebrates his 68th birthday.
In a warm message shared on social media, Atiku expressed admiration for Kwankwaso’s contributions to both Kano State and the nation at large, calling him a “time-tested political leader” who has dedicated years of service to the people.
Kwankwaso, a former two-term governor of Kano State, has left an indelible mark on the political landscape.
He is well-known for his innovative programs, including the Kwankwasiyya movement, which has garnered significant support, especially among the youth in northern Nigeria.
His leadership in the state not only improved infrastructure but also emphasized education, with scholarship programs that benefited countless students.
Atiku highlighted Kwankwaso’s “towering political figure,” acknowledging his resilience and unwavering commitment to the development of Nigeria.
The former governor’s influence stretches beyond his gubernatorial tenure, as he has held key roles at the national level, including serving as Minister of Defence.
Kwankwaso’s political career is marked by his doggedness and a sense of patriotism, qualities that have made him a notable figure in Nigeria’s political arena.
Atiku’s message also reflected the deep bond shared between the two leaders. Both men have worked together in various political contexts over the years, with Kwankwaso notably running for president in 2019 under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), where Atiku was also a major contender.
Their shared vision for Nigeria has kept them aligned on many issues, especially in matters of governance and national unity.
As Kwankwaso celebrates another year, Atiku wishes him many more years of fruitful service, not only to Kano but to the entire country.
He emphasized that Kwankwaso’s contributions to Nigeria are far from over and that his leadership remains essential in the journey toward a better and more prosperous nation.
This birthday message from Atiku underscores the mutual respect and collaboration between two of Nigeria’s prominent political leaders, both of whom continue to play pivotal roles in shaping the country’s future.

Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mazi Afam Osigwe, speaks on the election and a popular notion that is happening. He shared how some politicians depend on the courts to win their elections instead of the voters (the people).
“A judge once presented a paper called ‘The Judicialisation of the Electoral Process.’ He argued that because of the difficulty of proving non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the courts have gradually and increasingly usurped the role of the voters. I couldn’t agree more.”
“They believe that between polling units and collation centres—especially at night—miracles happen before daybreak. So why vote?” he asked.
