Atiku's spokesperson, Daniel Bwala, says former president Obasanjo is seeking a third term by proxy through his endorsement of Peter Obi's presidential bid.
Mr Obasanjo in aGiving the reasons for the endorsement in the letter, Mr Obasanjo had stated: “None of the contestants is a saint but when one compares their character, antecedent, their understanding, knowledge, discipline and vitality that they can bring to bear and the great efforts required to stay focused on the job particularly looking at where the country is today and with the experience on the job that I personally had, Peter Obi as a mentee has an edge.
Mr Bwala said the 2023 election will be decided by Nigerians not on the basis of “a letter by a man seeking a third term by proxy, but by their own assessment of who amongst the candidates presents the case they believe warrant their votes. For the records, Obsanjo also referred to as OBJ has served two terms as a democratically elected president from 1999-2007.
A cursory look at his letter released on this day 1st day of January 2023, one can’t help but draw a deduction of a man who beliefs so much in himself. His entire letter is riddled with me, my and I. Even when he made references to candidates, he assumed he is the source of their relevance and notoriety.
