Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has declared support for a move to draft the current President of the African Development Bank, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, into the 2023 presidential race, a competent source closer to the former president confirmed.
According to this source, the move comes as the former president failed to have the Governor of Sokoto, Aminu Tambuwal and former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwanso, work together in order to advance the political interest of the People’s Democratic Party in the 2023 presidential race.
Sunday Vanguard report that the two Northern Influential politicians are exploring the possibilities of running for the presidency under the PDP in the next election but that the former president had failed to reconcile them ahead of this dispensation.
The report further revealed that it was the reconciliation of these two politicians that took the former president to the caliphate last week when he was at the state to commission a project completed by the state government.
The source said: “Last week Baba was in Sokoto under the guise of flagging off some projects completed by Tambuwal but the real intention was to reconcile Governor Aminu Tambuwal with Eng. Rabiu Kwankwaso ahead of 2023 because two of them, who are his political sons, are keen on the presidency.
“But it is also clear that Baba is trying hard to put up structures for another political son of his, that is the current African Development Bank President, Adesina, under the Peoples Democratic Party since it is clear to him that the North would not support his candidates for the posts.

“It is obvious to him that the reconciliation that the former leader is pushing is not in the interest of the north and he might jettison his current party and push for the formation of a hybrid party that will weaken both the PDP and the APC and strengthen the new one with a view to winning the presidency in two years’ time.
“Baba’s backing for the AfDB President is predicated on his sound educational, economic and leadership pedigree that he believes can guaranty him easy victory over other recycled politicians with some baggage,” the top politician said.
