Chief Olisa Agbakoba, a former
president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) on Thursday, said former
president Olusegun Obasanjo’s endorsement of former Vice-president Atiku
Abubakar will go a long way in determining the outcome of the 2019 presidential
election.
Speaking with Daily Independent,
Agbakoba said Obasanjo has been behind every successful presidential campaign
in the last 12 years.
“Absolutely, Obasanjo is
Nigeria’s most influential politician and elder statesman and he has been
behind every successful presidential campaign of the last 12 years or so.
“So, this endorsement is very
weighty,” he said.
Atiku met Obasanjo within the
Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, the Ogun state
capital.
Others in the meeting included:
the Catholic Archbishop of Sokoto Dioceses, Bishop Matthew Kukah; Founder of
Living Faith Church, Pastor David Oyedepo; a leading Moslem cleric, Sheik
Ibrahim Gumi; and Afenifere leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, among others.
