Flashback: I Would’ve Face God’s Wrath If I Supported Atiku, Claims Obasanjo
In a shocking revelation from the past, former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s scathing comment on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has resurfaced, leaving many to wonder about the state of their relationship.
Obasanjo made the comment at an event, where he claimed that if he had endorsed Atiku’s presidential bid, he would have faced divine retribution.
The former President’s exact words were: “I have no personal issue with Atiku, but if I then, with what I know about Atiku, which you can read in my book. With what I know about Atiku, if I have put Atiku forward, God will not have forgiven me.”
This statement, has sparked intense debate and speculation about the nature of Obasanjo’s concerns regarding Atiku’s character and suitability for the presidency.
Obasanjo’s reference to his book, which presumably contains damning information about Atiku, has only added to the intrigue.
The comment has been interpreted by many as a damning indictment of Atiku’s integrity and a clear indication that Obasanjo has serious reservations about his former Vice President’s ability to lead the country.
The fact that Obasanjo invoked the name of God, stating that he would not have been forgiven if he had supported Atiku, underscores the gravity of his concerns.
This is not the first time that Obasanjo has publicly expressed his misgivings about Atiku’s presidential ambitions.
The two men have a long and complex history, with Obasanjo previously accusing Atiku of corruption and dishonesty.
The resurfacing of this comment has significant implications for Atiku’s current presidential aspirations, as it raises questions about his character and fitness for office.
As the country gears up for another election cycle, this revelation is likely to dominate the headlines and spark renewed debate about the suitability of Nigeria’s political leaders.
In a country where politics is often marked by intrigue and backroom deals, Obasanjo’s comment serves as a reminder that the personal relationships and animosities between Nigeria’s political elite can have far-reaching consequences for the nation’s future.
