Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo Endorses Atiku Abubakar Over Buhari

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is reportedly planning to throw his weight behind the presidential aspiration of his former deputy, Atiku Abubakar.

Sahara Reporters in a new report, says Obasanjo might soon rescind his decision as he is beginning to consider Atiku a better candidate in the 2019 presidential election. A source close to the former president who spoke with Sahara Reporters, said

“Baba believes that Buhari is too rigid, and you know Baba said long time ago that Buhari should go and rest in 2019. Yes, Atiku and Baba have a history. But these days, he has been saying Atiku, despite all his foibles, will at least create more jobs and help to revive the ailing economy.”

In multiple occasions, the former preisdent has called on Nigerians not to re-elect President Buhari whom he has described as failure.
