The former Nigerian leader described Peter Obi as a needle with thread attached to it from North and South, and he may not get lost.
Reacting, Bashir, in a post shared on the microblogging platform Twitter, made a mockery of the former president without mentioning his name.
He described Peter Obi’s endorsement as hilarious, saying Obasanjo cannot even produce a councilor but is busy endorsing a presidential candidate.
Bashir Ahmed added that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu is the person that Nigerians would be voting for in February.
He tweeted: “Someone that can’t produce a councilor is busy endorsing a presidential candidate. Hilarious! Asiwaju is the candidate Nigerians will be voting for in February.”
Meanwhile, in a tweet via his verified Twitter handle on Sunday, Festus Keyamo stated that it is within the former President’s right to endorse anyone for the 2023 Presidency.
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment said Obi’s endorsement shows that Obasanjo does not think that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, deserves to be President this time around.
