“My comment does not have anything to do with whether the President is re-elected or not. My focus is on the implications of the development on the polity.

“The question now, should be on how to get the economy work. Whoever emerges the President would have to make critical decisions on how to handle the situation. He would either borrow to finance governance or devalues the currency. But it is going to be tough for whoever that is elected president because these are not the best of times.”

For the spokesman of the Yoruba Social Cultural group, Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, Obasanjo has become a nuisance that is not worth the media attention he is getting.

Odumakin said: “It is the media that has been giving Obasanjo undue relevance. You are not helping this country by giving him that kind of attention. He is a man who spent all his years in government encouraging corruption.

“During his administration, N560 billion was not remitted into the federation account and people are not asking questions. Nigerians must continue to hold their leaders accountable and they must continue to ask questions but with due respect, Obasanjo is turning himself into a public nuisance. He should spare us.

“It is very clear to Nigerians that Obasanjo wants this country to be in a crisis so that they will call on him again to come and save the country. That is what he is playing out.”

For Chief Ayo Opadokun, a frontline leader of NADECO, President Jonathan has institutionalized corruption, contending that former President Obasanjo merely spoke the minds of Nigerians.

Opadokun said: “I will not want to throw the baby away with the bath water just as I do not want to pontificate over the genuineness of ex-President Obasanjo but I believe strongly that he has spoken the minds of every Nigerian.

“I am not saying that Obasanjo is the best man to make such statements but these allegations are evident that Jonathan’s administration is a failure when it comes to corruption compared to other past administrations.

“Ex-President Ibrahim Babangida administration whom many of us labeled the most corrupt government has come out to say he should be regarded a saint, a situation that has further confirmed that corruption has been institutionalised by the Jonathan administration.

We know that OBJ is a devil but GEJ's gross poor performance has given him the energy and strength he needs to attack him.
