Tinubu who buttressed Atiku’s detribalised nature, had predicted that efforts to discredit him will fail because of the huge support base the former Vice President has across the country.<\/p>\n

Elaborating on his knowledge of the former Vice President, Tinubu said he has known and understood the Atiku even before his entry into politics, adding thet he knows where he is going and how to build bridges to get there.<\/p>\n

While drawing a distinction between the duo, Tinubu had said “Moreover, Obasanjo is the only candidate who stands a chance of blocking his rival, General Muhammadu Buhari, whose ethnocentrism would jeopardize Nigeria”s national unity. Buhari and his ilk are agents of destabilization who would be far worse than Obasanjo.<\/p>\n

The secret release also divulged that Tinubu credits his going into politics to Atiku’s personal encouragement.<\/p>\n

The release also pointed\u00a0 to Tinubu’s admiration of Atiku, suggesting that the he could be persuaded to play a national role in an Atiku administration if the former Vice President were elected as President\u00a0 for a four year term.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
