Atiku will not disappoint if elected president – Obasanjo

Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has said the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, will not disappoint when he becomes president in 2019.

Obasanjo was reported by Premium Times to have made the statement on Sunday, November 25, when he and another ex-president, Goodluck Jonathan, in the company of some governors of PDP, visited the palace of Lamido of Adamawa during a trip to the state to campaign for Atiku.

Paul Ibe, a spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar, who was present at the event said Obasanjo showered praises on the PDP presidential candidate.

Obasanjo assured the Lamido of Adamawa that Atiku would not disappoint when he becomes president in 2019.

It was also reported that Obasanjo recounted his ordeal at the Yola prisons when he was jailed by then military ruler of Sani Abacha in the 1990s.

After the meeting with the traditional ruler, Obasanjo, Jonathan, Atiku and the governors were said to have entered the same bus heading to home of the PDP presidential candidate to have lunch.
