Am proud of Atiku for being bold enough to say the truth , obasanjo is covertly supporting Tinubu even in the last elections, I never trusted him and I know he hates Igbos with a passion |

Sanctimonious Obasanjo! Always pointing fingers and absolving himself. He seems to forget that we know the amount of money that exchanged hands during the 3rd term bid. Witnesses yapa so, baba should just keep quiet. |

seunmsg:Frivolous how? Was Atiku that confiscated the money or was it Atiku that investigated Tinubu? What does Atiku have to do with a case in Chicago in 1993? |

Kobicove:Was it the turn of the south in 2011 when Tinubu and Obi supported Jonathan to win the election? Was it the turn of northerners when Tinubu made Buhari president, four years after calling him expired? Was it the turn of the south when Obasanjo got a second term because Atiku refused northern pressure to make him respect his one term promise like Mandela? 2003 was the first time that Buhari asked for the job of president and failed.

Yemimovich:Why did Obasanjo not wait for his own AGF Bola Ige to die naturally instead of precipitating it in 201, two years before he captured southwest votes to secure his reelection? Abi you think Baba Iyabo’s reelection would have happened without the bloc vote of the south west after Atiku rejected northern pressure to make Obasanjo honour his one term promise like Mandela? Buhari first asked for the job of president in 2003 and secured the northern votes in bloc. chino11:

olajigaolamide:If Atiku is too obsessed with the presidency and too desperate then why did he not grab power in 2003 when it was offered to him by northerners on a platter of gold? Why did Atiku support Baba Iyabo’s reelection when northerners reminded him of his one term promise like Mandela? Was 2003 not the first time Buhari asked to be made president and failed, even though he got bloc votes from the north ![]() You should be embarrassed that Obasanjo is not an ọmọlúwàbí who respects his own words, just like Tinubu who has disappointed many senators and representatives their automatic return tickets for next election. Why are you not embarrassed about this? Why are you not focusing on this, ti o bá jẹ wípé ọmọlúwàbí ènìyàn ni ìwọ náà? |

ogododo:ATIKU APPLIES FOR THE PRESIDENCY—BUT HIS FORMER BOSS WRITES A DAMNING TESTIMONIAL by CharlesCNG. Atiku Abubakar’s response to former President Olusegun Obasanjo is an pathetic exercise in evasion. Obasanjo, the man under whom Atiku served as Vice-President for eight years, has offered Nigerians what amounts to a former employer’s appraisal of his deputy. Unfortunately for Atiku, it is not a pleasant testimonial. Imagine a man applying for the most important job in the country and announcing that his greatest qualification is his experience as Vice-President. The interview panel then asks: “Very good. What does the President you served under say about your character, loyalty and conduct in office?” Suddenly, the applicant becomes angry. He does not want the testimonial examined. He does not want his former boss questioned. He insists that the employer’s assessment is politically motivated because the employer may prefer another applicant. That is essentially Atiku’s predicament. Obasanjo alleged that his deputy encouraged attempts to remove him from office and gave the late Speaker Ghali Na’Abba ₦5 million to commence impeachment moves. Atiku has denied the allegation, and it must be stressed that no court has established it as fact. But instead of confronting the broader appraisal directly, Atiku’s response is built around three distractions: Na’Abba is dead. Obasanjo supposedly supports a kinsman. And the allegation is intended to influence 2027. But none of these arguments answers the central question: What exactly was the nature of Atiku’s conduct and loyalty while serving as Obasanjo’s Vice-President? “The grave is not a witness box” is a dramatic headline, but Na’Abba was not the only participant in that government. Obasanjo is alive. Atiku is alive. Many officials who served in the Presidency, National Assembly, security services and political establishment at the time are also alive. But Obasanjo’s possible political preference does not automatically invalidate his recollection of the government he headed. A bad reference does not become a good reference merely because the referee may prefer another candidate. Atiku’s strongest claim to presidential competence has always been his eight years as Vice-President. He regularly presents that period as evidence of economic experience, administrative capacity and readiness to govern. Fair enough. Atiku cannot claim the benefits of that employment history while rejecting the appraisal of the employer under whom the experience was acquired. He cannot proudly display “Vice-President, 1999–2007” on his political résumé and then declare the President he served under an irrelevant, malicious stranger whenever the man discusses his conduct. A testimonial cannot be accepted only when it praises the applicant. This is what makes Obasanjo’s intervention politically devastating for Atiku. It does not come from an APC spokesman, a Tinubu campaign official or an opponent who observed the administration from outside. It comes from the man who selected him, worked beside him, assigned him enormous responsibilities and witnessed his conduct at the highest level of government. Atiku wants Nigerians to employ him as President principally because he once served as Vice-President. But when Nigerians request a reference from the President he served, the reference letter reportedly reads like a warning notice. That is Atiku’s real problem. The problem is that the former boss whose administration supplies the most important entry on Atiku’s résumé appears unwilling to recommend him for the promotion he has pursued for decades. Atiku has submitted his application for President—but his former employer’s testimonial may be the biggest reason Nigerians should return it marked: “NOT RECOMMENDED.” |

DrAkpa:I did not wish atiku any evil but he is not going to be president. Your words will not be marked because it is a nothing burger. I will always triumph and I will assume my position of Authority and there is absolutely nothing under the earth you can bloody do about that. |

anonimi:He actually tried to grab power in 2003 but only to be outsmarted by baba iyabo and that forms one of the many reasons while obasanjo never supported and will not support Atiku's presidential ambitions |
