(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2023 general elections, Atiku Abubakar, has stated that one of the three naira notes about to be redesigned should have the image of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Atiku, disclosed this on his Twitter account on Saturday as he heaped praises on the 85-year-old elder statesman and African Union’s mediator for leading peace talks between the Ethiopian Government and Tigrayan rebels after two years of conflict that have killed thousands of people.

Atiku, on Saturday, applauded the “extraordinary prowess” of Obasanjo in bringing peace to Ethiopia.

He said: “I am not surprised. I know my boss. He did the same thing in Liberia and São Tomé and Príncipe during our time in office.

“If for nothing else, he is most deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize, and I will nominate him when entries are open for nominations.

“Africa is blessed to have a statesman of such impeccable democratic credentials as Chief Obasanjo. A man whose image ought to be in the redesigned Naira note to inspire future generations of Nigerians to sacrifice for their nation and continent.”
