Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar has expressed excitement on the outcome of his meeting with former President, Olusegun Obasanjo.

The leaders met on Thursday at Obasanjo’s residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Obasanjo said, “Let me start by congratulating President-to-be, Atiku Abubakar, for his success at the recent PDP Primary and I took note of his gracious remarks in his acceptance speech that it all started here.”

At the meeting were outspoken clerics, Bishop David Oyedepo, Bishop Matthew Kukah and Sheikh Ahmed Gumi.

Also at the meeting were leader of apex Yoruba group, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, former Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, ex PDP deputy national chairman, Bode George, Senator Murray Ben-Bruce, ex Cross River Governor, Liyel Imoke, ex-Minister Osita Chidoka, among many others.

  1. Big dreamers, dream on. God keeps exposing the fraud in these so-called clergy - Kukah, sleepy-eye Oyedepo and fake Islamic clergy, Gumi.

  2. Your reunion with Obasanjo is not a guarantee of winning the 2019 Presidential election. Specifically, Obasanjo mentioned that you still need to clear yourself nationally and internationally. That carries a lot of weight. What you need to clear, you know and we know. So, we're waiting. As for being accepted by religious leaders, forget them, because, we know some of those in attendance as pastors of dollars. All along, they speak as if God prophesied through them, whereas, they speak of their own and belly.
