Obj’s Wish on Obi Is Personal Opinion, Does not Reflect the Wishes of Majority of Nigerians, says Atiku/Okowa Campaign

…Insists Atiku Still Most Widely Accepted Candidate

The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization says the subjective support for the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, by former President Olusegun Obasanjo is his personal wish which does not reflect the opinion or position of overwhelming majority of Nigerians across the country.

While former President Obasanjo is entitled to his personal opinion; as remarkable as it may appear, it remains individualistic and cannot redirect Nigerians from their determination to rally with the more experienced, more proficient and more accepted Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, to rescue and rebuild our nation from the APC misrule.

What is surprising to majority of Nigerians is that in the face of the alarming challenges facing the nation, which requires a tried and tested hand, former President Obasanjo is suggesting a candidate that has not had any experience in governance at the national level.

In any case, Chief Obasanjo’s opinion cannot sway Nigerians who can easily remember how he endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari, whose administration, he (Obasanjo) now describes as “stressful years for many Nigerians,” during which our nation “moved from frying pan to fire and from mountain top to the valley.”

It is therefore be extremely difficult for Nigerians, particularly the youth demography, to accept Chief Obasanjo’s opinion as the solution to the myriad of challenges facing the nation today because the last candidate he introduced, by his own estimation, failed Nigerians.

Our campaign holds that none of the Presidential candidates has the experience, capacity, tenacity of purpose, presence of mind and readiness to serve like Atiku Abubakar.

Atiku remains the most widely accepted candidate, whose choice is not predicated by sectional, tribal, ethnic or religious sentiments or the endorsement of any individual, high or low, but by record of ability and performance, authentic vision, honesty and character; physical and mental capacity; the very indices set by the former President.

It is instructive to state that every claim by former President Obasanjo on the success of his administration is a reflection of the performance of Atiku Abubakar as his Vice President and Chairman of the National Economic Council during which our nation achieved unprecedented economic growth to become one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

It therefore amounts to a disservice for the former President to make subjective suggestion even when it is clear that if a hand like Atiku Abubakar with their shared experience is brought to the forefront of governance, our nation will be rescued from this current sullen state

Our Campaign therefore urges Nigerians not to be distracted by subjective opinions but to remain focused on the resolve to salvage our dear nation by electing Atiku Abubakar as the next President of Nigeria, come February 25, 2023.

Kola Ologbondiyan
Spokesperson,

No sane Nigerian will support Atiku's ambition this time around. He has had his time and we must move forward as a nation in search of true leadership. Tinubu's presidency is an insult to our national consciousnes and a mockery of our effort to reclaim our nation's position in the comity of nations. Obi is the future of our national pride and rejuvenation.

Shameless old men are an abomination to the Lord. Obasanjo endorsed Buhari. But, now, he honorably makes amends by criticising Buhari. Atiku endorsed Buhari but he has dishonourably refused to admit he got it wrong. He even wants us to forget it.

Imagine these two big parties behaving like opposition.

Just one endorsement on a "structureless" party and they have started to shiver!

What is coming to hit them will be a child's play. By then it would have been late for them.

Baba has made his choice so just move. Not like he'd force people to vote for Obi or that his endorsement automatically means Obi is our next president. Ebora owu is giving all anti Obi a sleepless night.

Put sentiment aside, Atiku is the best for now. Am yoruba love Tinubu , desired Obi but in reality, Atiku is the best option for now. A sane society should have thrown APC to the dust bin by now for their woeful performance. Obi is cool but him and his party are not yet ripe for the job. Atiku is a unifier, experienced and formidable to carry out the task of recovering Nigeria. Obi can continue to learn more from Atiku while preparing for 2027. Obi reaching agreement with his boss Atiku will be highly welcome to send Bat to early loss and prepare a way for a reputable Igbo president in 2027. Anything aside this, Igbo people may need to wait till 2031 before one of them will taste power. Forget Biafra or separation for now, it's not visible, it is still going to be one Nigeria for at least a decade from now. Igbo should wake up and step up their game and not allow this obident things derail them
