Why won't he be shocked ?


He repeatedly rebuked Atiku , talked about his many sins , talked about how Atiku shouldn't be given the key of a house talk much of the country's treasury and that was even before Atiku was vying for any political post


Idiots without conscience collected thousands of dollars to impose him on Nigerians , every reasonable elder would be shocked


Looters are united only to rape , loot and reloot the economy , nothing else

Of course he is shocked.

For some strange reasons,Obasanjo seems to think he is an Oracle that everybody in Nigeria has to pour libations on before they do anything.

How can someone have such an unforgiving heart?truth is,Obasanjo has lost his relevance and it is always laughable when I hear people say dont count him out,and that he still carries weight politically.

Where exactly is Obasanjo relevant in Nigeria today?Ogun State?definitely not. In Lagos State?in Oyo?or maybe Kano and Bayelsa?

His time is past. Did anybody see Anenih at the convention?that one has given himself brain. Atiku should respect him as a Statesman,but do not fall into the trap of giving him any kind of audience.

We all should join hands in retiring Obasanjo, since he does not want to leave with respect.

Truthfully so. The Obj i know won't succumb to pressure easily against his conviction even if he has to work alone.

which political tendency does he know about atiku that he doesn't know about other politician he supports other than atiku rejecting his third term wish and making baba kneel down for him as revealed by prof Soyinka.

Baba obj got my respect anytime anyday but he shouldn't allow his personal grudges over the generality of national interest.

Atikulate seems the realist option


Realist option?

Hmmmm...whatever that means.

Atiku agreed on a bribe to sell off NITEL as a vice president. What will he do as a president?

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo was shocked when he heard that it was ex- Vice President Atiku Abubakar that emerged as the presidential flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), sources familiar with the politics of the former leader, told Daily Trust.

Atiku was one of the 12 presidential aspirants of the PDP who slugged it on Saturday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, at a time many analysts predicted that Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal would carry the day.

However, when Atiku emerged winner on Sunday, different media reports suggested that his fortune during the contest swelled after a last minute high profile discussions and realignments by former Nigerian leaders and other military generals.

Obasanjo, ex-Military President Ibrahim Babangida, ex-Head of State Abdulsalami Abubakar and General T.Y. Danjuma, allegedly agreed, and thereafter reached out to PDP governors, other party leaders and ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on the need to rally round Atiku to emerge as PDP candidate.

But one of our sources said the purported endorsement by Obasanjo was the creation of the media.

The “ex-president was rather shocked when he heard that Atiku was the winner during the primaries. He did not endorse his candidature, at least for now and the former president did not hold any meeting with any general while the convention was taking place,” the source said.

“And with all sincerity, none of the people mentioned that they worked together to help Atiku contact Obasanjo on the issue…They all knew his stand on the former VP,” he said.

Obasanjo, who claimed he had retired from partisan politics, had withdrawn his support for President Muhammadu Buhari even as he had repeatedly called for the defeat of both the ruling APC and the opposition PDP.

Another source said Obasanjo would in the coming days speak on his impression about Atiku’s candidature, saying “He is at present studying how things are unravelling.”

Obasanjo, whose misunderstanding with Atiku dates back to 2007, had in August said of his former vice president: “How can I be on the same side with Atiku? To do what?

“If I support Atiku for anything, God will not forgive me. If I do not know, yes. But once I know, Atiku can never enjoy my support,” he had said. Daily Trust newspaper has been somewhat incoherent these days... No investigative journalism on writing based on figment of imagination all the time to please those who engage them... Nonsense

Buhari is the worst president in Nigeria history , he's been rejected by God and man.

Do you have sense at all?
Just listen to yourself..
Was Atiku the President or Acting president??
Will he say No when the president says Yes??
Or you think the VP has a special say??

Don't say that. What elders see from afar is more glaring and far visible than what children and youths see. My own understanding of Atiku shows he is quite a pretender and much like a chameleon. When you get close and see his bitter side and colour you will no longer want to associate with him

Re: Presidency: ‘Obasanjo Shocked Over Atiku’s Emergence As PDP Flag Bearer’ by Larryslim(m): 8:06am On Oct 10, 2018
Obasanjo should just sit in his retirement home and watch..
Since he doesn't like Atiku and Buhari,he can support Donald duke or someone else..
Obj doesn't determine anything again,and that's the exacly what the Lagos APC members, supporters and all Lagosians should have done to Tinubu this year, but I don't understand,they all feel indebted to him one way or the other and they can even pay him with their life if he insists..

Why are you talking like this??
Have you gotten close to him
See Nigerians we have problem,if you don't like someone that doesn't mean you should say the wrong things about him..
Why would you say to your own understanding, you don't understand anything!
Buhari portrayed himself as million of things in 2015,we all believed and fell for it,we know the truth now..
You don't understand anything about Atiku!
