), have supported former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s decision to endorse the 2019 presidential bid of his former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar. Obasanjo had on Thursday declared his support for Atiku, exactly four days after the ex-VP emerged as the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party. He is a qualified person and we pray he succeeds and that the country makes progress under his presidency. “Atiku has the qualities to move the economy, unite Nigerians and address insecurity, insurgency and other developmental challenges of the country. So I think Atiku has those qualities.”Speaking to Saturday PUNCH, Togun, who is also a former deputy director of States Security Services (now Department of State Services), also commended Obasanjo for forgiving and endorsing Atiku.
