I rescued Atiku from Obasanjo who wanted to roast him like goat meat — Tinubu

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has said he “rescued” the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar from former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The Informant247 observes that Atiku Abubakar who served as the vice president under Obasanjo did not receive the political blessing of the former Nigerian leader.

Instead the former president declared open support for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi ahead of the February 25, 2023 presidential election.

While addressing a crowd of supporters at a campaign rally which took place in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State, on Monday, the presidential candidate said Atiku Abubakar and his political party were just after “stomach infrastructure”.

“They don’t have a mandate; what they have is ice cream. It has melted. I am the one that rescued him from Obasanjo who wanted to roast him like goat meat,” he said.

“He ran away to Dubai, and when the election came again, he came for stomach infrastructure. He came to Lagos. We rehabilitated him and gave him a ticket but he wasted it and used it to collect money.

“He faced Obasanjo, faced Buhari and failed. He failed with Jonathan. He failed in all his subjects.

“You better watch him before he starts selling the little palm trees that you have left. What we need to do is to develop our country. We have enough gas reservoirs on our land.

“Akwa Ibom, you will not suffer again. That boy [Emmanuel Udom] that brought Atiku here, that calls himself governor, tell him enough is enough. He lived in my backyard in Lagos. If not that we are one, I’d have driven him home.”
