Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, is having a double celebration as he turned a year older.

This is coming few days after President Goodluck Jonathan celebrated his birthday at the Presidential Villa, when he turned 57. The presidential aspirant of the All Progressive Congress (APC) is also celebrating his wife, who was called to bar.

Atiku, who has a presence on social media, announced on his Twitter page about his wife's achievement.

“Today, I will be spending my birthday with family, as we celebrate my wife's call to bar in Abuja. Very proud of her achievements,” he posted on Twitter.

“My wife holds a PhD, and is a professor. Today, she's being called to bar! Congratulations!” he added.© 2014Nollywoodgists.com
