Nigeria’s former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, said his choice of Atiku as a running mate during the 1999 general election was a mistake.
Obasanjo disclosed this on Saturday, June 25, while addressing students in Abeokuta at a leadership and entrepreneurship mentoring session.
The former president admitted to having made many mistakes in his life. He also disclosed that one of such mistakes was his choice of running mate in the 1999 presidential election.
“I don’t say I don’t make mistakes – I made many of them,” Obasanjo said.
“But one thing that has happened to me is that God has never disappointed me. And that is very important.
“For instance, one of the mistakes I made was picking a number two when I was going to become President.
“But because it is a genuine mistake, God saved me out of it.”
The presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, contested alongside Obasanjo in the said election.
Hmm.
This old former president of Nigeria (Obasanjo) is always sayin this; his worst mistake was picking Atiku as running mate 20+ years ago.
So Mr former president, you’ve never been charged for your actions or your bad ruling and you’ve the mouse blabbing…
Hmm
