Jesus Christ, The Only Messiah Was Imperfect As Man, And So Is Atiku – Obasanjo

Jesus Christ, The Only Messiah Was Imperfect As Man, And So Is Atiku - Obasanjo 1

The Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo said he did not expect perfection from presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, because Jesus Christ, the only messiah he knows was not perfect as a man.

Olusegun Obasanjo made this statement on Wednesday, January 30, 2019, at the Island Club 2019 Quarterly Business Lecture held in Lagos state. He said:

“Atiku never claimed to be a saint and I never described him as such. I will never so describe any human being alive let alone calling him a Messiah.”

“On an occasion in the past when I said that someone was not a Messiah, some Nigerians out of bad belle were up in arms. For me, as a Christian, the only Messiah I know and have is Jesus Christ and even then, the man aspect of Him was imperfect while the divine aspect of Him was perfectly messianic.

“I must reiterate that Atiku is not a saint and who is? But from what I know of Atiku, he will be a performer in all respects. I can say that again from my personal experience.

“A leader must be honest to himself and to the people he serves or he wants to serve. He must identify and acknowledge his situation, mistakes, shortcomings and inadequacy; show remorse where and when he has erred, seek forgiveness and repent; and not passing the bulk or keep blaming others and fail to accept responsibility.

“Atiku accepts responsibility for his mistakes, shows remorse and seeks forgiveness from his political party and subsequently from Nigerians. He asked for forgiveness from me and as a believer, a Christian as such, I forgave him in accordance with the teaching and instruction of my Saviour.

“If anybody blames me for forgiving Atiku, I leave such a person with God Almighty, especially as both Christian and Islamic clerics joined Atiku to visit me to seek forgiveness. Anybody who does not forgive when forgiveness is sought with contrite heart cannot be a true believer and should not expect the forgiveness of God.”
