Atiku Abubakar has said he was the brain behind the reports that did not allow ex-Anambra State Governor, Chinwoke Mbadinuju, to win the PDP ticket for re-election in 2003.
Mbadinuju became governor of Anambra State from 29 May 1999 to 29 May 2003, having been sworn in on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
While his tenure was famous for several political atrocities that resulted in an ineffective government, Atiku said that he visited some parts of the state and was surprised to see that schools in Anambra were closed for two years because of Mbadinuju administration’s insensitive neglect.
His words, “When I returned from the states’ tour, I told President Obasanjo that Mbadinuju must not be allowed to seek reelection.”
that was just the gospel truth
