Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party for the 2023 election served as Obasanjo’s Vice President between 1999 and 2007.

The PDP candidate said his former boss had paid glowing tribute on how he, as vice president served meritoriously and that he has the experience and exposure to take over from president Muhammadu Buhari.

The event was when Atiku met with the Lagos Island Club in the build up to 2019 presidential election. Ibe said, “What he said in the video was and is still valid. What he said in the video is our response. It does not sound like a regret. He was paying eulogies to his then Vice President for a meritorious service to him and the nation, and urging that he be elevated to higher responsibilities on account of his sterling service.”

“Another thing inhibiting youths from running is the amount of money involved in going into politics. I hope that things should not continue like this. “The second one was when Abacha wanted to arrest me. When Abacha wanted to arrest me, I was told by the American ambassador that they will arrest me and that America has asked that I should be given asylum. I said no. It could have been a mistake because I could have lost my life.While tutoring the students to imbibe the spirit of religious tolerance, Obasanjo also advised them not to see their own religion as being superior to that of another person.

“If this is the basis of religion, doing the right thing for the benefit of mankind, you don’t have to condemn any person because of what he believes. “It offers secondary school aged young people a hands-on learning process on how to create wealth, help others and their communities.”
