Obasanjo rejects Atiku for 2023 presidency

The Peoples Democratic Party will certainly not be happy as former President Olusegun Obasanjo has queried the choice of Atiku Abubakar, who was his vice between 1999 and 2007, as a presidential candidate.

Obasanjo felt the decision is not politically correct and in the spirit of the understanding between the North and the South of Nigeria.

“I am very much aware that it’s the turn of the South to produce the next President of Nigeria. I was part of the meeting when the agreement was made between Northern and Southern Leaders”, Obasanjo was widely quoted to have said today.

“I am even surprised PDP gave her ticket to another North candidate.

 “It will be an injustice to the South if the North retains Power after 8 years of rule”, he added.

Obasanjo said this during the visit of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to his Hilltop home in Abeokuta.

“We will do the right thing when the time comes,” the former leader said during the closed-door meeting.

Apart from painting Atiku Abubakar in unsavoury colours in his memoir, Obasanjo believes Atiku should never lead Nigeria.
