The former vice president in a statement released on Friday in Abuja by his media office, urged Nigerians to unite and shun bitterness.

“With the president’s return, Nigerians should unite behind their common interests and speak with one voice instead of nursing bitterness against one another because of political differences,’’ he said.

Atiku said that Buhari’s safe return was a happy moment for him not because he was a fellow party member, but because he had tremendous goodwill and best wishes for him.
