Most of you guys just love saying rubbish. If you are ask for evidence Obasanjo choose Atiku because of Northern votes now, you won't be able to back up your claim with facts.

Obasanjo choose Atiku as his vice President after he won the presidential election. Atiku contested to become the Governor of Adamawa and he won the election.

My brother, you are actually wrong.

Obasanjo picked Atiku as running mate before the 1999 presidential election and they both ran on the ticket.
The Presidential election was held in February 1999 and they ran and won on the same ticket.


However, Atiku had already won the Governorship election of Adamawa state.
The Governorship elections were held in Nigeria by January 1999, ( a month before the presidential election).

Atiku resigned as the Governor-elect and joined Obasanjo on the ticket.

Bonie Haruna who was Atiku's Deputy Governor-elect was later sworn in as Governor in May 1999 following Atiku's resignation.

I hope its clear now sir

To correct the notion that Atiku was part of Obasanjo victory in 1999 No. Atiku won Adamawa Governorship Election and Obasanjo won Presidential but the running mate to Obj died before the inauguration Obj just need someone to fill the gap of VP, the same scenario of Jonathan and Sambo when Ya'adua die.

What is the name of the running mate of Obasanjo that died?

Presidential election was held February 1999 while Governorship elections were held a month before, January.


Atiku already won Governorship elections of Adamawa state.

He resigned after Obasanjo nominated him to join him on his ticket.

They both ran and won the presidential election.

No running mate died sir.

Mr man, use your brain.
They are different, the first guy said Atiku gave OBJ votes, the guy you quoted said 'no' because ObJ has won the election already, without ATiku being his running mate, the originals running mate died, ATiku is just beneficiary.


Atiku wasn't a beneficiary sir but a main force on that ticket.

I don't know where you all get your information from that an imaginary running mate died.

What's the name of the running mate if truly he died?

Atiku having won Adamawa Governorship election resigned after Obasanjo nominated him to be his running mate.

They both ran on the same ticket

if what u say is true, why then must one choose a vice now before campaign, can't Atiku or tinubu wait till they win before they choose their vice

When you can't predict the future, it's best you keep your mouth shut.

Last time, he belatedly supported Atiku seeing him as the better of 2 evils.

He is probably saying this now as he might be rooting quietly for one of the presidential candidates today

Throwback:
Imagine that.

So why did he join the Atikulators holding their breath for Atiku to cum in 2019, knowing that he was a mistake?

Now in 2022, he has again remembered Atiku is the same mistake?

Atiku was born a Cameroonian, as such he was never eligible to be in the Nigerian Presidency, even if he might have risen to top management of Nigerian Customs.

Sadly the same uninformed mob who were atikulating a mistake in 2019, are now obidiently parading a pathological liar who graduated 3rd class in philosophy, only for his economic lies to be roundly disgraced by the Economics professor that is now in charge in Anambra.

I laugh in anonymous supporter.
He was at that juncture a lesser evil compared to Buhari.

Picking ‘@Atiku’ As My Running Mate In 1999 Presidency Was A Mistake – Ex-President Obasanjo Declares, Subtly Rejects PDP Candidate For 2023 | Sahara Reporters

Me:

Former President Obasanjo gross with his Vice President Atiku Abubakar is not about corruption. Yes, Atiku is extremely corrupt but so also Obasanjo.

Obasanjo eternal hatred of Atiku is because Atiku led the defeat of his Third term agenda. Obasanjo bribed 200+ Nigerian Lawmakers with N50 million each cash to change the construction to allow him go for Third term but he lost that bid.

Obasanjo should be grateful to Atiku that he supported him for second term despite his failure to perform in his first term.

Obasanjo's present saintly behavior contradicts the reliable text of history. The Obasanjo's regime was extremely corrupt. I met a young Lady in Abuja who was given huge contract in the power sector by that regime. She collected hundreds of millions of Naira without even visiting the site. He asset was that her father was a childhood friend of Obasanjo.

When Obasanjo left prison in 1998 after the death of Gen. Abacha to contest the Presidential Election that he won, he was financially broke but when he left power in 2007 he was among the richest men in Nigeria. It was the Obasanjo regime that established the tradition of giving huge contracts and paying the money without the Contractor even visiting the site. In the power sector alone, the Obasanjo regime 'spent' more than $20bn. More than 70% of this huge funds was stolen.

Definitely you have not been to the university, if you had, you would not be contesting this.Go and ask those who are graduates,or undergraduate students, they'll tell you.Then a third class degree in in any course is totally useless. You can't even use it to secure a teaching job in the public schools. Also claiming that they use it to secure political posts present you as a stark illiterate.What's a political post ? You Ibos just like to make false claims in total ignorance and delusions.

You are the stark illiterate here ,that lacks cognitive reasoning because of your hate for Ibos! Can you even show me the evidence that he came out with third class ? With your asserted third class, he has worked in numerous big organizations before becoming the governor of Anambra state where he left a remarkable record! Your BAT can't provide any of his certificate, yet he claimed to have gone to Chicago university.

If you have sense, being a third class graduate can't stop you from being elected as a president as long as you are competent

If atall he graduated with a third class. It can't stop him from succeeding!
You that graduated with a better result, what have you achieved? That you are dissing a former governor with a track record

It's your irk that is rooting for BAT despite what APC is putting us through
Tribalism has clouded your sense of reasoning
