Ex-President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, has said the alliance of his former deputy, Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, with the late Alex Ekwueme, during the 2003 presidential primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), collapsed after Ekwueme lost at the poll.

Obasanjo revealed this on Thursday at the public presentation of ‘Amazing Grace’, a biography of former Oyo State Governor, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, in Ibadan, Oyo state.

He was correcting a part in the book, where the author claimed Atiku backed down before the primary poll.

“Again, Atiku did not back down as you claimed until Alex Ekwueme was defeated at the primary of PDP in 2003.

“Atiku’s agreement with Ekwueme was to be Ekwueme’s running mate and Ekwueme, as President, spending three years and reg for Atiku to complete the fourth year and then for Atiku to contest election in his own right in 2007.

“It was after the result of the primary that Atiku backed down, if you put it that way, it was when there was no other choice,” Obasanjo said.

Ok

The last line sounds so funny ..... Baba sabi throw punchline for atiku matter

Old story, obasanjo is yet to learn this hausa fulani man called atiku upon being his vice for a good eight years.

All these old men should please let Nigeria be.

Again, Atiku did not back down as you claimed until Alex Ekwueme was defeated at the primary of PDP in 2003.

Ok, we don hear.

This Obasanjo truly has an unforgiving spirit , I wonder what Atiku did that made Baba so angry , I’m sure there is more to these story

I HOPE I MADE SENSE

Atiku know his slave n understands they are not fit to rule. Imagine the fool telling Ekwume the clown to resign in his 4th year so he can take over. Oloriburuku somebody.

I hope dis is not an attempt to position Atiku again for another contest in 2023, like you started positioning Buhari for us from 2013?

We know ur skills, small time open letter go follow another revelation.

Oga e nor go work!!!

These dinosaurs must give chance for decent human beings to reclaim this country.

It's a good thing to grow old but, I fear that phase of life.

And its not in your book.

We need you more in that ministry now.

Whoever believed in APC and PDP is an enemy of Nigeria..

Baba Obj trying to correct them as usual. Atiku couldn't have contested with someone who lost at the primaries.

Even Alao Akala the very corrupt ex police officer has also written a book. Okay ooo
