The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has expressed readiness to nominate former President
Olusegun Obasanjo for Nobel Peace Prize.
The former vice president stated this on Saturday in a post
on his verified Facebook page while commending Obasanjo for quelling the
Ethiopia-Tigray conflict.
Atiku eulogized his former boss on peacekeeping, saying the
ex-president did same in Liberia and São Tomé and PrÃncipe during their tenure.
He wrote, “I celebrate the extraordinary prowess of His
Excellency, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, in bringing peace to Ethiopia. I am not
surprised. I know my boss. He did the same thing in Liberia and São Tomé and
PrÃncipe during our time in office.
“If for nothing else, he is most deserving of a Nobel Peace
Prize, and I will nominate him when entries are open for nominations.
“Africa is blessed to have a statesman of such impeccable
democratic credentials as Chief Obasanjo. A man whose image ought to be in the
redesigned Naira note to inspire future generations of Nigerians to sacrifice
for their nation and continent”.
