Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has defended his endorsement of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

He said despite the fact that Atiku lost to President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC), he remains “far better” than the incumbent.

The elder statesman spoke on Sunday evening when the Southwest PDP leaders led by the party’s National Vice Chairman (South West), Dr Eddy Olafeso, visited him at his Pent-House Residence within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, Ogun State.

In attendance at the meeting were Senate Minority Leader, Biodun Olujimi; Senators-elect Oyo South Kola Balogun; Ondo Central Ayo Akinyelure; Rep-elect (Ibarapa North and Central), Hon Ajibola Muraina; former Osun State Governor Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola; former Minister for State for Defence Erelu Olusola Obada and PDP gubernatorial candidate in Ekiti State 2018 election, Prof Olusola Eleka.

He said: “Politically speaking, you can’t be my friend if you don’t buy into the Nigeria’s project. For me, till death, I will continue to push for a better Nigeria.

“I said if you compare the two of them (referring to Atiku and Buhari) with what I know and all I have written about the incumbent, which they have decided to cover up, Atiku is better than the incumbent by far. That’s the point I am making. And nobody is perfect.

“I am not a perfect person. I have my shortcomings. If I deny my shortcomings, it means I am not being truthful to myself.

“But, my shortcomings have nothing to do with my love for Nigeria. It has nothing to do with being greedy or selfishness.”

Obasanjo told his guests Nigerian situation demands a vibrant voice and opposition in PDP to engender a virile democracy.

The former Head of States also bemoaned the failure of leadership, saying Nigeria can’t move forward “if we continue the way we are.”

He urged the PDP to purge itself of “bad eggs and hypocrites,” whom he said, lacked commitment to return the opposition party to its lost glory.

Obasanjo lamented many of the PDP leaders are still preoccupied with what ministers to “their pockets and stomach,” wondering why some of them left the party while others lost hope the seconds the results of 2019 Presidential election were announced.


Obasanjo, whose Coalition for Nigerian Movement(CNM) failed to provide a formidable force to unseat President Muhammadu Buhari and his the All Progressives Congress(APC) at the centre, advised PDP to purge itself of “hypocrites and bad eggs.”

He noted the purging exercise would put the party on a higher pedestal to scout for those he called “critical mass of committed people,” who “would be ready to stand with the party come rain, come shine.”

Obasanjo said: “I knew PDP would lose election in 2015 because it was clear. And I knew PDP will need to be rebuilt after losing the election.

“You need what I call critical mass of committed people, and come rain, come shine they are committed. With that, you can make Nigeria better.

“You see peoples’ faces beautiful but you don’t know what each person harbours inside of him.

“If you discover a bad egg, remove such a person. And if such person has learnt his or her lessons there can still be room to accommodate the person.”

Also at the meeting were former Lagos Deputy Governor Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele; former Deputy National Chairman Shuaibu Oyedokun; PDP Governorship candidate in 2017 Ondo State Governorship election, Eyitayo Jegede SAN among others.

Atiku's policies were pro-business and pro-investment

Buhari is a leftist populist whose economst policies has crippled the Nigerian economy. The Economist said another 4years of Buhari means a lost decade of economic growth.
Look, you cannot have a SOLID investment without power, good roads, transport system and security.
Atiku might be better but if you believe there will be economic turn around under 4 years I will say you are naive.
I don't need to start breaking this down but one thing is sure, Atiku will still have to continue the infrastructure programs already on ground. Investors won't drive on bad roads, or insecurity and all.
Remember when roads re constructed at night? Those days are long gone. Well unless you are one of the indomie generation.

Economies like Nigeria at this stage of development can still grow quite fast, 7% or more despite these challenges you mentioned

Despite the fact these issues existed in the past, that didn't stop the Nigerian economy from growing by an average of 6% annually from 1999-2013.

Two of Atiku's policies (reduction in company taxes and merging the multiple exchange rates into one) would have brought growth rates of at least 7% annually.

It will take many years of fast economic growth before those shortcomings you mentioned become a serious constraint to growth.

Yes there was. They will advertise that some routes will be shut from 11pm to 4am. At that time you will see work going at night then in the morning, you will see a brand new road. That was until kidnappings became an issue for the multinationals.

Atiku will reel out any plan to hoodwink voters just as APC did in 2014.
Grow an economy at 7% without power, without good roads, insecurity and all that. I can see that the voodoo economic plan atiku reeled out to you guys is really taking its toll. So
* how do you intend to cut company income tax when oil revenue was dropping? How then will you fund the budget?
* What was the size of the budget 1999 - 2013 when the economy was growing at 7%?
Its easy to criticize just to win an election but implementation is where the problem is.

See who is talking, the number 1 hypocrite here is Obasanjo himself, you abandon and tore the membership card of the party that gave u the ticket to the presidency because you don't like the presidential candidate. And talking about greed, he use his office as President to coerce state governors and big companies to donate to his personal venture, the Obasanjo library housing an hotel and other hospitality buildings on an expanse of land in Abeokuta, giving himself license for a private university while still in office and source of the funding of the school unknown except for the moribund Obasanjo farms in Otta that has collapsed and he is able to revive it after he assumed office as President using his influence to cow big customers to patronise the farm's produce. His 8 years is nothing different than the succeeding years, selfish,greedy, corrupt: both morally and financial,holier than thou regime
