‘Obasanjo has no electoral value’ – Atiku
The African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has said that former President Olusegun Obasanjo does not have any political value.
Speaking to newsmen on Wednesday, Atiku said he was not bothered by Obasanjo’s refusal to endorse him.
“In 1999, he could not even win his own state or the Southwest; it was Arewa that made him President. He possesses no electoral value,” Atiku said.
Recall that the duo have not been on good terms since they left office in 2007 after completing their second term of eight years as President and Vice President, respectively.
Atiku had revealed that he opposed Obasanjo’s third-term bid to defend Nigeria’s Constitution and democracy rather than out of personal loyalty.
Speaking on the 2027 general elections, Atiku said that as Vice President of Nigeria he gave many young Nigerians the opportunity to serve in government.
According to him, some of them are now governors, ministers, directors and holders of other important positions, adding that if he becomes President, young Nigerians will continue to be given opportunities to serve and lead.
