Obasanjo and Atiku's Power Struggle | Nigeria News

Tensions between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Vice President Atiku Abubakar erupted in 2007 when Atiku refused to support Obasanjo’s bid for a third term — a standoff that allegedly left a lasting rift. Now, Atiku’s spokesperson Kenneth Okonkwo claims the feud still fuels attempts to block Atiku’s presidential run, framing it as resistance to genuine change.

Okonkwo argues that Atiku’s legacy speaks for itself, and any opposition today is simply fear of his vision to transform the nation.
