Senator Dino Melaye on Wednesday celebrated former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on his 74th birthday, alleging the latter was the “true winner” of the 2019 presidential election.
“Happy birthday to the Defender of Democracy in Nigeria. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar the true winner of the 2019 Presidential election. God is with you and we are with you,” Melaye wrote in a social media post.
Atiku has been receiving congratulatory messages from friends, family and party faithful.
Some of those who have celebrated him on social media include former Senate President Bukola Saraki, former presidential aide Reno Omokri, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and his Delta State counterpart Ifeanyi Okowa.
Atiku lost the 2019 election to the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari.
