Sani made the observation on Saturday, August 1, while commenting on the latest exchange between the former political allies.
In a post on X, the former lawmaker described the long-running dispute as a decades-old political feud that began when members of the younger generation were still in primary school.
“The Obj/Atiku feud began when Gen Zs were in nursery and primary school,” Sani wrote.
He noted that the dispute had persisted despite the passage of time, with members of the generation who witnessed its beginnings now graduating from university, getting married and raising families.
“It’s continuing even when that generation has graduated from universities, married and had children,” he added.
Sani suggested that the dispute could remain unresolved until one of the former leaders passes away, after which the surviving party would likely pay tribute to the deceased.
“It’s likely going to continue until one of them is gone, and the other will pay a glowing tribute,” he said.
The former senator also likened the latest attacks from Obasanjo to “hypersonic missiles”, claiming that Atiku had faced sustained criticism from his former principal after previously launching what he described as a “devastating bomb” against him.
“Since Atiku threw a devastating bomb at Obj, he has been receiving Obj’s hypersonic missiles for two decades,” Sani said.
The latest exchange follows Obasanjo’s recent criticism of Atiku, during which the former President said choosing him as his running mate in 1999 was one of his biggest mistakes in office.
Atiku, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2027 election, has also repeatedly criticised Obasanjo while revisiting political disagreements from their time in government.
