He described the development as “regrettable and unfortunate”.
Atiku, however, expressed confidence that reconciliation between Osoba and Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State was still possible.
He said: “I’m the Chairman of the South West Reconciliation Committee (of APC). But we also had to set up an elder sub-committee of that committee to try and see if there will be what I call an internal reconciliation before the bigger committee looks at the reconciliation process.
“It is regrettable and unfortunate but I believe it is a situation that is still reconcilable. This is a situation that has been going on for some time and we have not given up”.
Atiku said he had been visiting states being governed by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
On the Transformation Agenda of his former party, he said: “PDP will talk on the television that they have done this and that, but they do nothing. They have failed
“But if you go to the APC states, honestly, you will see, you’ll feel the kind of transformation that is going on.
“They call themselves transformers while we call ourselves progressives because transformation goes with progressiveness, but their own transformation goes with backwardness.
“I have said it over and over again because I have visited APC and PDP states. If you go to Sokoto, Lagos, Rivers, Zamfara, Kano, you’ll really, see, feel and touch, not what they tell you on the television”.
The former Vice President, who had earlier visited his former boss Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo, at his private mansion on Presidential Hilltop Estate, Abeokuta, said their relationship is “extremely cordial”.
He disclosed that he was in Ogun State to pay respect to his former boss, adding that they had discussed the state of the nation.
Atiku, who was equally in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, to meet with Governor Ibikinle Amosun and some APC leaders in the state, arrived Obasanjo’s home at about 2.56 pm with an entourage comprising his Director of Campaign Organisation, Prof. Babalola Borisade, among others.
He had a one hour private meeting with the ex-President.
