Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has endorsed Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar at his candidate for 2019 after he visited him at his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun state on Thursday.

Obasanjos told Atiku that he had forgiven him and then congratulated him as the next President of Nigeria.

But his endorsement comes after over a decade of insisting that he can never support Atiku for a political office, adding that, God will never forgive him if he does so.
