UNTIL DEATH DO THEM APART: Shehu Sani Drops Bombshell, Says Atiku And Obasanjo’s Bitter Feud Will Never End!
According to former Kaduna Central senator Shehu Sani, the ongoing political rivalry between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, is unlikely to end until one of them passes away.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Sharing his thoughts on following a recent public exchange between the two leaders, Sani highlighted that their dispute has spanned over twenty years, outliving multiple political eras. He remarked that the feud began when today’s Gen Zs were still in nursery and primary school, and it persists now that this same generation has graduated from universities, married, and started families.
Sani metaphorically framed their ongoing exchanges as a military conflict, noting that Atiku previously launched a major verbal attack, which has since been met with Obasanjo’s relentless counter-attacks over the past two decades. He concluded that the rivalry will likely only cease when one of them is gone, leaving the survivor to deliver a glowing tribute.
Background of the Conflict:
-
The latest tensions were reignited after Obasanjo publicly stated that picking Atiku as his running mate for the 1999 presidential election was among his biggest political regrets.
-
Atiku served as vice president under Obasanjo from 1999 to 2007, though their relationship fractured significantly during their time in office and has remained broken ever since.
