Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said no Nigerian vice president acted in the stead of his principal as much as former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.

Obasanjo, who was the guest speaker at the Island Club Quarterly Business Lecture, which held Wednesday, stated that, contrary to popular belief, Abubakar presided over several Federal Executive Council meetings under his 1999-2007 administration.
The former President took a jibe at President Muhammadu Buhari, who spent 104 consecutive days on medical vacation, and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, who was appointed as “acting president.”

According to Obasanjo, one of the most ridiculous claims he has heard is that he did not trust Atiku, who is the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, to preside over the FEC.

He added, “That is not true because he had occasion to preside a few times that I was out of the country on duty. On those occasions, he was in charge of the FEC meetings and no Nigerian chief executive has devolved to his deputy as much as I did to Atiku.
“I did not need to designate him ‘acting president’ because the constitution is clear; once the president is not available, the vice president automatically acts with full powers, and he consults when and if he considers it necessary.

“But since I was not absent from home for 104 days at a time, people may not know that Atiku actually stood in for me whenever I was out (of the country).

“You have a man who has what it takes in experience, exposure, lessons that he has learnt and he has learnt his lessons. I tried to teach him a few of them. You have a man who has what it takes at this time for us to have a change and we need a change for the better.”

Baba you are a liar,Nigerians know your style

....

104 days angle is really a savage. If u know u know

Does this man think we were born yesterday?

This man is a bloody liar.
May be he thought we were born yesterday.

Atiku was completely isolated and stripped during this super story teller's second term in office

Did you know the number of Senate presidents you impeached.

In fact,you are an usurper, you usurped other two organs of govt during your notorious reign


Corrupt Man,your are one of the tyrant in the world during your regime,no minister will address the press in his/her ministry without your consent and telling him what to say,if anyone of them did so,he will be fired with immediate effect.

So we should commence burning the books you penned.

Wait oo.

Has Obj forgotten all what he spewed in his book about Atiku or is this about what he is going to benefits should Atiku wins ?

This old man don dey do Oro rituals like kiddo..

Lol..Obasanjo is indirectly replying Pdp, who earlier replied Tinubu.

Pdp told Tinubu that all his allegations against Atiku wasn't his fault,because he wasn't the President as at when the allegations occurred...


Sooner or later, Obasanjo and Atiku/Pdp will surely clash again. Probably after Atiku has lost the coming general election..


Buhari is busy campaigning as much as 2 states per day.. But Atiku will do one day campaign and rest for 2 days.... OK ooo

It's funny hearing OBJ try to speak positively about Atiku's person. As a matter of fact it sounds really really weird considering how much he has decimated and done more harm to his character than any other person alive.

Now i know that baba dey high on Ota weed...Of all the VPs Nigeria has ever produced Osinbajo is the greatest of all.Even in acting capacity.

Actually Osinbajo is the best VP Nigeria ever had .we northerners will elect him as president in 2023

Atiku, a man with practical 'on-the-job' experience.

All I can say is IPOB listen to your best governor.
OBJ the pathetic liar. You and I know that all what he said is absolute lie.

I wonder Wetin atiku promise dis obj... no b dis obj don spoil atiku before... atiku now a gud man...
