How I Turned Down Governors’ Request To Stop Obasanjo's Second Term - Atiku | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE
Former Vice-president Atiku Abubakar has narrated how some governors informed him they would not support the second term presidential bid of his former principal, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.

Speaking in his opening remarks at the 94th PDP NEC meeting in Abuja on Thursday, Atiku said the governors asked him to contest against Obasanjo but he referred them to National Executive Committee’s resolution which states power must remain in Southwest for eight years.

He said:  “All the PDP governors and some members of the party met me at the Villa and said that they were not going to support [then] President Olusegun Obasanjo for a second term, that I should run.

“I now referred them to the resolution of NEC where NEC had decided that power should remain in the southwest for eight years.

“How do you want me to go against the resolution of NEC and I turned it down, and we moved on. So, this country has a sense of fairness. This country has a sense of justice, this country has a sense of fairness.

“Therefore, this thing that is in-built in our party, we should be able to use it, to embed it, to make sure today’s deliberation is in the best interest of our party, in the best interest of Nigeria, which will ultimately give us the victory that we asked for — to go back to the Villa.”
