Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has opened up about the personal significance of April 11 to him and his family, describing it as a day filled with joyful memories and deep gratitude.

In a touching message shared on his official Facebook page, Atiku revealed that his son, Adamu, is celebrating his 50th birthday today. He described the day as one that brings back warm reflections each year. “Adamu came to us on this day 50 years ago, and every passing year has been a beholding memory,” Atiku wrote.

He spoke highly of Adamu’s character, saying he displayed signs of leadership from an early age and carried a natural charm that has always made him stand out. Atiku also reflected on his own journey as a young father, explaining that while he initially believed in strict parenting, Adamu’s respectful and gentle disposition made that approach unnecessary.

“Adamu is a blessing to my family,” he continued, sharing how his son’s good conduct had a positive influence on his siblings and helped set a tone of humility and discipline within the family.

More than just a father-son relationship, Atiku described their bond as one of deep friendship and mutual trust. “He is not just a son but also a friend and confidant,” he wrote, expressing his pride and appreciation for the man Adamu has become.

The message concluded with heartfelt birthday wishes and a prayer for continued blessings in Adamu’s life, as the family marks this milestone with love and reflection. April 11, for Atiku, is more than a date—it’s a celebration of legacy, fatherhood, and the enduring bond of family.
