A Veteran Journalist, Dele Momodu, has claimed that former President Olusegun Obasanjo, and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, fell out because of Obasanjo’s planned third-term bid.
Momodu, who is the Publisher of Ovation Magazine and a former Presidential Aspirant, said that Obasanjo had to disarm Atiku, by sacking most of his ‘vibrant’ Aides and went on to describe Atiku as one of the most powerful Vice Presidents ever in Nigeria.
He tweeted: “Atiku was one of the most powerful VPs ever in Nigeria, I was not too young at the time, they fell out over re-election. His team in Aso Rock was young and remarkably vibrant, and OBJ had to sack some of them on his behalf, but ATIKU remained close to them from outside.”
Obasanjo had since endorsed Atiku Abubakar, as the next President of Nigeria, in 2019. The Obasanjo’s camp is seriously working with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential Candidate, to ensure that President Muhammadu Buhari is booted out of Aso Rock, come 2019.
