Obasanjo Calls Atiku a "shameless liar"

The former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria from 1999-2007 Olusegun Obasanjo referred to his Vice Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who lost his bid to become the Flag bearer of the All Progressive Congress in the just concluded presidential primaries as a "shameless liar".According to Premium Times he stated this at his book launch ‘Olusegun Obasanjo: My Watch,’ in lagos,He said,
“Those who can be regarded as influential and who have publicly accused me of allegedly manipulating a third term were Atiku Abubakar, who is a blatant and shameless liar, who was behind the whole episode of
turning wholesome constitutional amendment efforts of the National Assembly to a futile exercise and as a means of riding on its ashes to be Nigerian President,”
“Third term was not my agenda or intention although I would not say I didn’t know about it. I didn’t mastermind third term. Those who were telling me to go on were the governors that were going to benefit from it.
“If I did not want tenure elongation when I was military Head of State and had need to, I see no reason why I should be falsely accused of coup planning by Abacha and tenure elongation by Atiku.”
