Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, on Saturday, said he made two mistakes, which included the choice of his ‘number two’ ahead of the 1999 presidential election.

Obasanjo said the second mistake was his refusal to accept an asylum when he was told that the late Head of State, Sani Abacha, wanted to arrest him, the action, he said, could have led to his death .

Obasanjo became democratically elected President in 1999 while the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, was his vice president.

Obasanjo, who did not mention Atiku in his statement, said it was a mistake he made in good faith, but was saved by God.

The former president spoke on his life and achievements both as a military Head of State and as a civilian President.

Obasanjo stated this, while answering questions posed by students from selected secondary schools that participated in the finals of the National Exhibition and Awards organised by Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship.

The event, held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State, featured presentations and exhibitions of some products made by students of the participating schools.

You also foisted Yar'adua and Jonathan on us, you conducted terrible elections, you couldn't decentralise power, railways and maritime. You simply didn't lay a solid foundation for our democracy. You nearly destroyed it. Let us handle Atiku in our own ways. It is no longer your call.

Chai! Atiku jus need rest fr politics

Baba are you saying is going to be a mistake for Nigerians to vote your number two as a President Come 2023?



Baba leave us alone we are for Atiku..

Handle Atiku which ever way you like but God forbids him ruling Nigeria. Amen

This man should go abeg, every election period he will remember his mistakes, he should pray very well Atiku doesn't win the election, or else, his mistakes will be revisited .

One of his mistakes is still in Aso rock old man.

Lol

Atiku was a stubborn and very "ambitious ' vice. Obj couldn't make him do his bidding,hence the constant wailing.

Obj isn't any better and would have been worse if had a weak Vice.

Na dem dem!

'If the head of the fish is rotten" - Atiku Abubakar.

This senile old lizard is still spewing thrash?
Just like Nigeria and PDP made a huge mistake in 1999 concerning you!

Atiku is the only reason you won and that is why you can't clamp him, he was almost more powerful than you.

Oga keep quiet make we focus on the issue at hand! Where you any better? Is it because you failed in your third term bid?

Mistake kee you there!

Baawaa:
Obasanjo is the one that finished Atiku political career

Apc government have proven that Nigeria doesn't need them and promoting them again is a very big disservice to the country you claim to love.
Apc have failed.
you have to kiss this truth bro.

Obasanjo made the same mistake Nigerians are about to make if we don’t become OBIdient come 2023

Atiku is a Thief

Tinubu is a Criminal

Obasanjo himself was Nigeria's mistake

So we were stuffed regardless

Ok
