PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar's team to a meeting with former
President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday all flew back in his jet. Cited are
Sheikh Abubakar Gumi, Afenifere leader; Chief Ayo Adebanjo and former minister
of aviation, Osita Chidoka.
Former President Olusegun
Obasanjo has declared; that former vice president and presidential candidate of
the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar will perform better than
President Muhammadu Buhari and calls him ''President to be''.
The former president also
stated that Atiku has the business experience and capacity to rule and create
jobs for youths in the country should he emerge president of Nigeria at the
2019 general elections.
Obasanjo said this on Thursday at his penthouse residence inside the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital where he declared that he has forgiven his vice president between 1999 and 2003 of his ‘sins’.
Obasanjo also said that Atiku has asked for forgiveness and has shown remorse as regards the animosity between the duo.
He told Atiku, "There are still areas, nationally and internationally, where you have to mend fences and make amends. You will know how to handle what is already out and what may yet be put out by the opposition. But, I am convinced that if you continue with the attitude that brought you here with these distinguished leaders of goodwill, with remorse and contrite heart, the rest of the coast within and outside the country can be cleared. And if there is anything I can do and you want me to do in that respect, I will do.

“I am sure with the right
attitude for change where necessary, and by putting lessons learned by you to
work, you will get the understanding, cooperation, support and mandate – all at
the national level. With Nigerians voting for you, it will mean that you secure
their forgiveness and regain their confidence. It will be with the hope or
assurance of a Paul on the road to Damascus Conversion. After all, change and
conversion are of man. I believe that with a contrite heart, change is possible
in everybody’s life and situation.
