<\/p>\nObasanjo made the statement at the 27th annual Owu National Convention, held in Iwo, Osun on Saturday, while warning Nigerians on who to vote for in the forthcoming presidential election.<\/p>\n
Obasanjo, who some people believed has decided to support Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said he needed Nigerians to vote wisely for a credible candidate, who can liberate the country.<\/p>\n
His statement has since stirred divergent reactions from Nigerians on social media, querying his unstable support for Atiku Abubakar.<\/p>\n
Here are some comments gathered by DAILY Post from Twitter:<\/p>\n
@Adainado \u201cObasanjo is a master tactician. He is being technically tactical. But history has it, \u201cthe persons he has supported in the past, has occupied the Villa\u201d, even the incumbent is jittery. They criticize OBJ during day, but go to him like thieves in the night for his blessings\u201d<\/p>\n
@Seunbamgbose15 \u201cBaba is just either confused or beginning to make peace with God.\u201d<\/p>\n
@Congress15257 \u201cBaba iyabo is in between two opinion. Which is either to follow after His Conscience or after Dollar. The choice is his.\u201d<\/p>\n
@Adam_Yakub \u201cThis old man is confused, He is afraid of Buharis policies. They hate to see Nigeria growing.\u201d<\/p>\n
@Dejiblac1 \u201cBaba don see say the road no pure for Atiku,he wan play safe( sharp man)<\/p>\n
@Patmanjudy \u201cI said it ! Obasanjo is that type of a politician who can never support a single candidate . Meaning that he is a double minded person who talks from both sides of the mouth. Before the end of January 2019,he\u2019ll drop a very big bombshell. Watch out !<\/p>\n
@Muhamma02667155 \u201cObasanjo engaged in a tactical manoeuver to escape embarrassment after 2019 elections. Why did the old man earlier endorsed Atiku without proper analysis.\u201d<\/p>\n
@Kingkessy10 \u201cNo one needs your opinion again, you\u2019re Old as hell! The youths are supposed to be the one with opinions now in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n
@AdepojuAShittu \u201cBaba knows that the movement called Buharism will sweep him away come 2019, he is tactically falling in line.
\nPDP is a dead party and Atiku is not a good product, Obasanjo knows that.\u201d<\/p>\n
@Abubakar47i \u201cObasanjo is that scalar quantity in physics. Unlike a vector quantity, he\u2019s directionless. Today he\u2019s with Atiku, tomorrow, he doesn\u2019t have a candidate.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
