2019 presidency: General Togun speaks on Obasanjo’s forgiveness, endorsement of Atiku

A former Director of Military Intelligence, Brigadier-General Ajibola Togun, retd, has said that former President Olusegun Obasanjo had done the right thing by forgiving his former vice, Atiku Abubakar.

Togun said the development was good for the country.

Speaking with Punch, Togun, also a former Deputy Director of the Department of States Services, DSS, commended Obasanjo for forgiving and endorsing Atiku.

He said, “There’s nothing wrong with what Obasanjo did. He did it as a matter of candidacy and not really as a party issue.

“They had differences, but from what the ex-President said, he said he saw that the former Vice President had retraced some of his steps.

“We are all human beings and we may err. Even God blamed himself for creating us, but He still loved us and forgave us our sins.

“So, it is good that Obasanjo also practised forgiveness. It is all for the good of this country.”
