Obasanjo Dumps Atiku, supports Peter Obi, Adesina, Mohgalu for President 2023
There are indications which emerged over the weekend that former President Olusegun Obasanjo and some retired army generals are in support of a power shift to the South in 2023.
This online platform also gathered that the former president, Obasanjo and former generals are disposed to having any of these men as President: African Development Bank boss Mr Akinwumi Adesina; former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi and a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Professor Kingsley Mohgalu, emerge as President and Muhammadu Buhari’s successor.
Besides, the source said former National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Attahiru Jega, is being favoured to emerge as vice president.
The source said: “He (Obasanjo) supports power shift to the South. The people he has indicated an interest in general and not specifically are Akinwumi Adesina, Peter Obi and Kingsley Moghalu.
”Then in the North, he likes Attahiru Jega (former INEC chairman) to be the running mate. He is not supporting Atiku at all. He supports power-shift.”
