@dos_santos_politico: PART 2: Atiku Abubakar Funded Gen. Obasanjo’s Presidential Campaign and Both Ran Under Yar’Adua’s Structure in 1999 Dr. Mahdi Shehu, a public affairs analyst, explained that when Obasanjo was released from prison, he was essentially financially drained and relied on coalitions from the north and south. He was rehabilitated, given a fresh start, and presented as an elder and trustworthy figure. Obasanjo was gradually introduced into the political scene, which eventually led to his presidency. Shehu also mentioned that Atiku raised significant funds for Obasanjo’s campaign. Additionally, Shehu noted that Obasanjo required a strong political base in the north and chose Yar’Adua’s political structure, which Atiku Abubakar inherited from his mentor. He further stated that Atiku had enough backing to support Obasanjo’s rise to the presidency. #nigeria #nigeriatiktok🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 #nigeriantiktok🇳🇬 #naijatiktok #nigeriantiktok
