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.



Thank you my brother. I pray this will also happen to Tinubu soon!!

So the presidency is now the spokesman of Obansajo? Did he tell them that he was shocked? Smh

grin

You read it wrongly. It is not that the presidency said so. The headline is just saying that Obj is shocked with Atiku’s victory in the primaries in the context of presidential election related matters. If you read the content, you won’t find any reference to a presidency official.

It is just like an headline saying, Kwara: Saraki reclaims senatorial seat. It just means the news is in context of Kwara politics.

I see you're strongly banking on rigging to get buhari back to power but, it won't be business as usual for APC.

What happened in Osun and Ekiti was an eye opener , we are wiser now .

If Atiku is truly a successful business man as some Frustrated Nigerians are claiming, what will he be coming to do in presidency at his age?

He started business when he was Looting and now he lost access to his looting source and is now doing all to regain that which he lost.

Atiku is the true definition of a desperado. No wonder he has been changing political parties more than a prostitute changes partners.

exactly! This indeed is a historical period in the history of Nigeria that can shape or Mar us as an entity. Obasanjo had the opportunity to write his name on gold in History as the modern father of the new Nigeria; we can allude much to Obasanjo but whomever it is that must take the baton to lead this Nation of ours must break from the old order,must be a unifying factor, a core Nationalist, must eschew to a large extent politiking and focus on governance and the deliverables of good governance.

Kingsley Moghalu is in a class on his own...put some respect on that name. It takes more than inspiration talk to lead a Nation as ours. Fela Durotoye and Sowore ? No Sir!
If we were not so focused on Zoning and all, Kingsley Moghalu/ Okonjo Iweala
Atiku/Okonjo Iweala
Oby Ezekwesili/ Donald Duke
For now, might be better option
Our image as a Nation is battered Internationally, our institutions have been bastardized, our economy plunged into recession...there are no sound policies to drive the economy...we need persons with the wealth of experience, capacity and capabilities to assume the helms of affairs of our dear country as well as give a strong signal to the international communities while driving the home point of our National Sovereignty. Nigeria up till now has never been this weak economically and in Military might even in the region.

kahal29:
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.

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

Take it or leave it, Obj knows Atiku political tendencies more than anyone. So i can't wait for Baba Iyabo to tell us what he knows about this man Atiku that make him resent the man this much.
You will wait forever. The only reason OBJ hates Atiku is because he fought against his Third term ambition. #sayNoToObasanjo

OBJ already said what he knows: That he had to kneel down to beg Atiku to allow him contest again in 2003, otherwise Atiku was ready to stop him, that Atiku believes in marabout and that Atiku bribed NASS members. But OBJ slyly refused to tell us that Atiku was vehemently against his botched Third Term Agenda. grin cheesy

Now tell me anything above that Atiku is alleged to have done that most Nigerian politicians do not do. Ngige whose Okija shrine pictures are still online is Minister of Labour under Buhari right now. Under God knows how much Ghana Must Go bags OBJ sent to NASS to thwart the threats from Okadigbo & Ghali N'Abba.

So nothing dey happen. He should better Atikulate because Atiku knows even more about OBJ's looting.

Remember OBJ was in charge of the yam & the knife for 8 years. Atiku was only a keenly watching messenger who sometimes got crumbs from the table. OBJ's carefully laundered image since 2007 very much at risk here.
