2019: ‘God is a God of continuity’, Obasanjo makes another endorsement
Former president Olusegun Obasanjo Sunday said “God is a God of continuity” as he made another endorsement for the 2019 elections.
Obasanjo, who worshipped with Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State at Qua Iboe Church, Uyo, urged the people to support the governor’s second term ambition.
He said the governor was well positioned to take the state to the promised land.
“God is a God of continuity since He created the world. I always say to myself and my family: if something is good, keep it.
“We have a good product in our hand and if I have a good product in my hand, I will not change it, I will keep it.
“This is a good product, let’s have him for continuity. I can assure you, this governor has no fear; he will stand still. Please stand with him and he will take us to the Promised Land,” Obasanjo said.

Earlier, Governor Emmanuel had said that Obasanjo was in the state on a solidarity visit, adding that the presence of the former president always brings about something good.
“Whenever you see him move, know that something is about to happen. As you see him move today, something good is about to happen in Akwa Ibom.
“He has spoken concerning Nigeria and I’m sure something good is about to happen in Nigeria.
“Baba just came on a father-son solidarity visit and he chose to worship in my own local church.
“I want to thank him for this show of love, this show of solidarity and I also thank God for everything,” Emmanuel said.
Recall that Obasanjo had buried his disagreements with his former vice president, Atiku Abubakar and endorsed him for president in 2019.
