President Olusegun Obasanjo has told guests at the ongoing Island Club Quarterly Business Lecture holding in Lagos Wednesday that he never had to transmit a letter asking the VP Atiku Abubakar to Act as Acting President because he was never away from the Country for 103 days.
The former president was reacting to a criticism that he never trusted his VP to the extent of giving him charge over National responsibilities as acting President. He said "one of the most ridiculous criticism i have received for supporting Atiku is that i never trusted him, that is nit correct".
"The constitution clearly says that when the President is away, the Vice President automatically takes over".
The Lecture is ongoing in Lagos as we report. More details soon......
