The beef between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his Vice, Atiku Abubakar will not be enough to deter the latter from vying for and winning the presidency come 2019.
A former Senatorial aspirant and Director-General of Atikunation, Fateema Mohammed, made this known in an interview with Daily Sun.
Mohamned, who urged Obasanjo to stop acting as if God is his personal assistant, identified Atiku as the obvious choice for president in 2019.
Asked how she will sell Atiku to Nigerians especially in view of his beef with his boss, Mohammed said, “When you have a good product you don’t need to go through the stress of hyping the product. Atiku is the most sell-able candidate. The politics of the south-west is very dynamic; we have a lot of people who are exposed and knowledgeable.
“When you talk about APC it was Atiku’s money that helped the party to stand today and from the day he left APC, you will have seen that the party has taken a dive for the worse.
“It is simply because one of its pillars just left. Selling him is not a problem at all. He is the largest employer of labour in Nigeria. He is the benefactor of over 50,000 employees.
“He is a lover of youth and a detribalised Nigerian. He has wives from south-west and south-east. He believes in the girl child. He lives and says that he will give hope to the women and all that.
“Above all, he believes in restructuring. Is Obasanjo God or is he God’s Personal Assistant. Obasanjo has just one vote. He cannot determine who will be president. Obasanjo will be alive when Atiku will become president. He cannot stop Atiku.”
