As the race towards the 2019 Presidential election thickens, the Nigeria's former President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday, 11th October 2018 disclosed he has reviewed his stance on not backing his former deputy and the present Presidential flag-bearer of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Atiku Abubakar for the presidency tussle.
Chief Obasanjo spoke when Atiku and leaders of the PDP visited him at his Abeokuta home.
He said he believed Atiku has "re-discovered and re-positioned himself" and is now good enough to enjoy his support in the next election.
Hence he stated “Let me start by congratulating President-to-be, Atiku Abubakar, for his success at the recent PDP Primary and I took note of his gracious remarks in his acceptance speech that it all started here".
It would be recalled that in the history of Nigeria's political circle, Atiku remains the most controversial deputy president the country has ever witnessed and this was recorded during Obasanjo's reign as the country's civilian president.
