Olusegun Obasanjo has said the Atiku Abubakar will be a president for every Nigerians citizen unlike Muhammadu Buhari.
He also said that as a president, he never went on a 104-day medical vacation.
His words, “One of the most ridiculous claims I have heard on these issues is that I did not give Atiku chance to preside over the Federal Executive Council because I did not trust him.
“That is not correct because he had occasions to preside on a few times that I was out of the country.
On those occasions he was in charge of the Federal Executive Council meetings and no Nigerian chief executive has devolved power to his deputy as much as I did to Atiku.
“I did not need to designate him acting President because the constitution is clear; once the President is not available, the vice-president automatically acts with full powers.
“But since I was not absent from home for 104 days at a time, people may not know that Atiku actually stood in for me whenever I was out (of the country).
