IBB, Abdulsalami Abubakar and Aliyu Gusau have reportedly endorsed Atiku Abubakar presidential bid
Professor Farooq Kperogi, a media expert and public pundit, claims that former president Olusegun Obasanjo is backing Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential flag bearer for the 2023 election.
Ejesgist.ng reports that Kperogi also said that General Abdulsalami Abubakar and Ibrahim Babangida, two former military heads of state, are “decidedly” supporting Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate.

Writing recently in his weekly column, the US-based professor stated that the “loyalties” of “the owners of Nigeria” are divided.
“Their loyalties are split between Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi. While IBB, Abdulsalami Abubakar, and Aliyu Gusau are decidedly in Atiku’s camp, Obasanjo and Theophilus Danjuma support Obi.
“Goodluck Jonathan also appears to favour Obi, but he isn’t quite a member of this exclusive club in spite of being a former president.
“Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a bête noire to the ‘owners of Nigeria’,” Kperogi said.
