How Atiku Abubakar Framed Obasanjo – Presidency

Published

The Presidency says Atiku Abubakar, the 2019 Presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President has framed ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo over the years.

YaahooJournalist reports that the Presidency made this accusation against Atiku on Tuesday, August 27, 2019.

The Presidency, YaahooJournalist understands, was reacting to a statement by Atiku claiming that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was bent on framing Obasanjo in order to stop him from criticising the present administration.

Reacting to Atiku’s claim, a source in the Presidency, told The Nation that Atiku had framed Obasanjo, his former boss so well in the past.

According to the source, “When Mr. Atiku Abubakar reflects on some of the things he said of President Obasanjo, he will realize that having framed the former President so well in the past, Obasanjo cannot anymore be framed by anyone, no matter how he tries.

“On the unresolved issue of the mismanagement of the Petroleum Trust Development Fund, PTDF under their government, Mr. Atiku’s revelation before the Senate was that Obasanjo took N10 billion to kickstart his Third Term campaign.”

“This is how the press captured it: “Abuja — The ill-fated third term agenda re-echoed yesterday in Abuja at the public sitting of the Senate Committee on Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) when Vice President Atiku Abubakar alleged that President Olusegun Obasanjo approved the immediate release of N10 billion in the thick of the battle to push the agenda in the National Assembly,” the source added.
