Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has revealed how he saved Atiku Abubakar from the hands of former president Olusegun Obasanjo.

During the All Progressives Congress rally in Akwa-Ibom state, the former Lagos state governor claimed that Atiku was in hot water with Obasanjo if not for his intervention.

The elder statesman claimed that the Peoples Democratic Party’s flagbearer fled to Dubai and resurfaced with stomach infrastructure during the 2015 general elections, Vanguard.

Tinubu added that the former vice president, Atiku, has continued to fail in his ambition to become the number one citizen of Nigeria.

He said: “They don’t have a mandate; what they have is ice cream. It has melted. I am the one that rescued him from Obasanjo who wanted to roast him like goat meat.

“He ran away to Dubai, and when the election came again, he came for stomach infrastructure. He came to Lagos. We rehabilitated him and gave him a ticket but he wasted it and used it to collect money. 

“He faced Obasanjo, faced Buhari and failed. He failed with Jonathan. He failed in all his subjects.”
