ATIKU ABUBAKAR VISITS OBASANJO IN ABEOKUTA, OGUN STATE AHEAD OF 2015 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

 Atiku Abubakar yesterday had a closed-door meeting with Olusegun Obasanjo at his hilltop mansion in Abeokuta. The meeting that lasted for close to 40 minutes was connected to the upcoming elections in 2015.

Atiku later emerged in another wing where he had lunch with Obasanjo. While exiting the building, he granted a quick interview to anxious reporters

“I came to pay my respect to my former boss, President Olusegun Obasanjo and we discussed the state of the nation generally.” – Atiku told reporters.

He also lashed out at PDP for their backward transformation agenda.

 “They call themselves transformers while we call ourselves progressives, because transformation goes with progressiveness.“But their own transformation goes with backwardness. I have said it over and over again because I have visited APC and PDP states, if you go to Sokoto, Lagos, Rivers, Zamfara, Kano, you’ll really see, feel and touch, not what they have told you on the television,” he told reporters.
