Obasanjo he would never support the candidacy of Atiku knowingly in other to avoid God’s wrath. He said

“How can I be on the same side with Atiku? To do what?

“If I support Atiku for anything, God will not forgive me. If I do not know, yes. But once I know, Atiku can never enjoy my support.”

Continuing, Obasanjo said, “It is not a question of working with or not working with an individual.

“If you are working for the good of Nigeria, I am working with you. If you are not working for the good of Nigeria it does not matter who you are I am not working with you.”

Obasanjo however also cleared the air by making it clear that he has no personal grudge with Atiku or anyone but maintained that he knows the ex-VP very well, hence, his reasons for not changing his stand on Atiku’s ambition.

“Most of you do not understand the way I operate. I know Atiku very well. And I have mentioned my position with Atiku. My position has not changed.”

Continuing, Obasanjo said, “If my children are getting married, he has sent representatives. If his children are getting married, I have sent representatives. That is social. That is not political.

“On political ground, my position has not changed. If I support Atiku for a political office other than the one I supported him in the past when I did not know him. Now that I know him, God will not forgive me.”
