Corrupt Obasanjo Warns APC Not To Field Abubakar Atiku For Any Elective Position–Reports

New York[RR] Abuja–Corrupt Obasanjo Warns APC Not To Field Abubakar Atiku For Any Elective Position–Reports. Credible source close to former president Obasanjo said: “former President Olusegun Obasanjo has called on All Progressive Congress, APC, should not and must not field his former VP, Abubakar Atiku, Republic Reporters gathered.

According to former President Obasanjo, said, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar is not a viable material for 2015 and must not be fielded for any viable position, let alone as APC, flag-bearer.

“Obasanjo was quoted to have described Atiku as an “unclean vessel” while speaking to APC’s National leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu when the later paid the former a visit in his Abeokuta farm house.

The source said, “Chief Obasanjo appreciated Tinubu’s visit to his home, but specifically warned the APC to shut its door against ‘unclean vessel’.

“Chief Obasanjo reiterated his refusal to join the APC when Tinubu visited him in his Abeokuta residence, but warned the party to beware of Atiku.

“The former President appreciated the move by the APC to find out what he knew about two of the APC aspirants seeking the party’s presidential ticket.

“He was happy that the party consulted him over whom to pick as its presidential candidate. The former President gave detailed information on the APC presidential aspirants to Tinubu.”

Reacting, Atiku’s media aide, Garba Shehu claimed ignorance of the comment. He said, “You can quote me; we are not in any way aware of such comment. What I can say is that the former vice-president has written a letter to his former boss, respectfully informing him of his wish to bid for the APC ticket.”

“These letters, which were personally signed, had gone to thousands of other Nigerians, including politicians, traditional and religious leaders as well as friendly-diplomatic missions.”

Tinubu had last week during his visit to Baba told journalists that he had discussion with Obasanjo on “some of his former boys” who would vie for elective positions in the 2015 general elections.

He had said, “We are here to pay homage to our former President and discuss with him because he has a number of influences in the political sphere.

“We need to talk to find out his thinking about Nigeria and the future. We need to seek his observation on some of his former boys who are running for Presidency in our party.”
