Abubakar commended the contributions of Obasanjo to the development of Nigeria, African continent and humanity.

He said that no individual living or dead had bestrode the Nigerian political space as positively and purposefully as Obasanjo had done, “for good and better, in peace time and war, in times of austerity, and times of prosperity.

“It is not an exaggeration to describe you as the preeminent political colossus in Nigeria, a nation that owes so much to you.

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus and former Governor of Anambra, Mr Peter Obi, also congratulated Obasanjo.

Secondus in a statement by his Media Adviser, Mr Ike Abonyi, described Obasanjo as a foremost national leader, who did not allow tribe, religion or political party affiliation to block his leadership vision.

Secondus said that in spite of Obasanjo’s outstanding contributions to the development and progress of the country, “Nigeria of today is certainly not what he dreamt of.”

He said that Obasanjo’s unflinching faith in the oneness of the country however, could not be diminished.

Secondus prayed God to grant the former president longer years ahead to witness the turnaround of the Nigeria of his dream.
