Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has once again restated his position to never support Vice President Atiku Abubakar‘s presidential aspiration.

Atiku has declared his interest to run for president in 2019. He is currently in the PDP and is working towards becoming the presidential flagbearer of the party.

Speaking to Premiumtimes in an interview on Friday August 3rd, Obasanjo said God will never forgive him if he ever supports Atiku’s presidential bid.

“How can I be on the same side with Atiku? To do what?“If I support Atiku for anything, God will not forgive me. If I do not know, yes. But once I know, Atiku can never enjoy my support. It is not a question of working with or not working with an individual. If you are working for the good of Nigeria, I am working with you. If you are not working for the good of Nigeria it does not matter who you are I am not working with you.

“Most of you do not understand the way I operate,” Mr Obasanjo said. “And I thought your own paper will understand better. I know Atiku very well. And I have mentioned my position with Atiku. My position has not changed,” he said.

On a personal note, he added, “If my children are getting married, he has sent representatives. If his children are getting married, I have sent representatives. That is social. That is not political. But on political ground, my position has not changed. If I support Atiku for a political office other than the one I supported him in the past when I did not know him,” maybe, but not “now that I know him, God will not forgive me.”

Obasanjo and Atiku came into power in 1999 with Atiku serving as his Vice President. They started on a good slate but later fell out after the former President accused Atiku of massive corruption.

I only suspect that Atiku is just tiku, a tick that sucks the resources and leaves the host drained, my opinion is weak, I have not researched about him, we need to consciously and bravely turn a new page, this means saying no to COW, and no to TICK. But is appears we have been programmed to either choose the COW or the TICK

it's in our DNA to go for the cow or the TICK, we need special anointing to break the yoke, so that we can  reach the threshold to turn a new page, we can reach this threshold, after all, it's critical now, because now is the time, four years under stupidity, is not a joke, that is 4 percent of the life of a lucky person.
May the yoke of suffering be broken, and it can and one day it would be, and that day can be now, so say no to COW, say no to TICK.

Atiku who always make Nigeria ungovernable for others after losing a presidential ticket is a devil in human body.
Any political party that will give him a presidential ticket is band to lose the election. Nigeria needs someone who have
never been president or vice before for a new Nigeria.
