<\/p>\nShehu worked under the Waziri of Adamawa between 2003 and 2015.<\/p>\n
The Presidential spokesperson had on Thursday berated former President, Olusegun Obasanjo for endorsing Abubakar for the 2019 Presidential election at a meeting in Ogun State.<\/p>\n
Shehu who described the meeting as a \u2018well-rehearsed theatre\u2019 was quoted as saying, \u201cIt is just eleven years ago that the former President and Vice President in their ugly fight for power accused each other of corruption. Nigerians are yet to forget all that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey will lose together. Listening to the prepared statement of the former President after the meeting showed the usual ego trip and \u201cI know it all\u201d character of Chief Obasanjo.\u201d<\/p>\n
In their reaction, Nigerians, who took to their social media expressed divergent opinions.<\/p>\n
Here are some comments DAILY POST gathered on Twitter.<\/p>\n
@Gerund90, \u201dYou were Atiku\u2019s media aide before he donated you to Buhari\u2019s campaign. Now you want to deny your boss. Don\u2019t worry, no food for you after May 29th.\u201d<\/p>\n
@olajidevincent, \u201dAnd Nigerians remembered that you supported the then VP and now candidate of @OfficialPDPNig. You supported him with all you got and even denied all corruption charges against him. Whatever you are doing today for @MBuhari, you did more for @atiku then.\u201d<\/p>\n
@Heightinfinity, \u201dIf Nigerians can forget that your boss toppled democracy which he now enjoys through coup d\u2019etat in 80s, then nothing stops them from forgetting whatever happened in the Obasanjo-Atiku regime.<\/p>\n
@SKSolaKuti, \u201dGarba Shehu refused to author any press release when Atiku emerged as PDP chairman. He has found his voice when it concerns OBJ. Meanwhile, It is only in Nigeria that people say something is a non-issue in a press release on the issue that is a non-issue. Awon ode.\u201d<\/p>\n
@Veektohr1, \u201dGarba Shehu won\u2019t be working in the villa if Atiku didn\u2019t lend Buhari his media team before the 2015 elections and allowed Shehu to continue working for the president but now he wan dey insult am, na wa.\u201d<\/p>\n
@BaronvonGeoff1, \u201dGarba Shehu\u2019s filibustering is all about stomach infrastructure. If Fayose hires him tomorrow he will tear Buhari to shreds.\u201d<\/p>\n
@JShoremekun, \u201dSee how the event turns, The same Garba Shehu was the Media aide to Atiku at the time Atiku and OBJ fell out. He remained so until his current appointment by PMB. Now he is on the other side dishing out jab at his former boss. The coming days promise to be interesting!\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n
@PapazLagos, \u201dBuhari should ask Garba Shehu to honorably resign. How do you have someone who worked as Atiku\u2019s media aide all his life as your mouthpiece against his former boss?\u201d<\/p>\n
@rapuchukwu, \u201dGarba Shehu have you forgotten that Atiku was your boss for more than a decade. Don\u2019t forget your roots.\u201d<\/p>\n
@EdreezGombawa, \u201dWill Garba Shehu call his former boss corrupt despite all the articles he wrote way back trying to clear his name? Will he resign and declare support to his former boss? Will he continue as Buhari\u2019s spokesperson and go on a rigorous campaign to help his current boss win the election?\u201d<\/p>\n
@stopcorruption1, \u201dPolitics Today: People are being blackmailed, what Doyin Okupe and Reub\u00e9n Abatti did in their era is now being replicated by Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu, what Obasanjo did for Buhari, same he has just done for Atiku. Our politics is the same yesterday, today and forever more.\u201d<\/p>\n
@AyeeshaMusa1, \u201dAnd so my prediction about @GarShehu played out, he finally spoke bad against his master. This same Garba Shehu that adored, damn I love the Internet\u201d<\/p>\n
@iam_wilsons, \u201dIt actually took Garba Shehu 4 days to write those jargons. Hmm, this @atiku man must be troubling these people in their coven.\u201d<\/p>\n
@MrTomide, \u201dHow will Garba Shehu cope with attacking Atiku in favour of Buhari and defending Buhari against Atiku\u2019s attacks now? May our loyalty never be tested.\u201d<\/p>\n
@YouthsForAtiku, \u201dEmpowering someone at times is bad, just take a look at Garba Shehu, Atiku made you whatever you think you are today, but such is life, may those you uplift(if any) treat you back this way in Jesus name.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
