Former President Olusegun Obasanjo today
escalated his rejection of President
Goodluck Jonathan’s second term bid by
declaring his current mindset to be “Anything
But Jonathan” (ABJ).

He expressed his feelings to several of his aides
following a late evening meeting with President
Jonathan at his home in Abeokuta. Both men
were in the presence of Pastor Adejare
Adeboye, the General Overseer of the
Redeemed Christian Church of God, and Bishop
David Oyedepo of Winner’s Chapel.
To make matters worse, a few hours after
meeting with Jonathan, Obasanjo met with
leaders of the All People’s Congress (APC) and
their presidential candidate, Muhammad
Buhari, where he affirmed he will support the
best candidate regardless of party affiliation.
Jonathan’s closed-door meeting with Obasanjo
clearly failed to soften the former leader’s
hostility towards his floundering re-election bid
as Obasanjo bluntly told him that having
referred to him as a “tout”, it was hypocritical
for Jonathan to turn around to describe him as
the best president Nigeria ever had. It would
also be recalled that two months ago,
presidential adviser Doyin Okupe gave
Jonathan that honor.
On Sunday, as he received members of the
Northern Elders Council in Abuja, an angry Mr.
Jonathan had in a barely-veiled description of
Obasanjo, dismissed him as a statesman.
"Some people call themselves statesmen but
they are not, they are just ordinary politicians,”
Jonathan told his guests. “To be a statesman is
not because you have occupied a big office
before, but the question is what are you
bringing to bear? Are you building this country
or are you a part of people who tell lies to
destroy the country?”
Upon arriving at the meeting with Obasanjo
today, Jonathan tried to turn on the charm,
lavishing praise on Obasanjo as he blamed the
escalation of attacks on him as the work of his
(Jonathan) aides.
President Obasanjo apparently did not buy any
of the goods Jonathan was hawking. Shortly
after the encounter, he told his aides he would
not change his position on Jonathan’s
presidential bid.
Obasanjo’s subsequent and open display of
affection towards the APC leadership is
reportedly sending shock waves up and down
Jonathan’s camp, where it is regarded as
confirmation that the conciliation efforts with
Obasanjo have collapsed, leaving him in grave
political danger with the election just one
month away. It will be the first time a PDP
candidate tried to win the presidency with
Obasanjo not the candidate, or firmly on his
side.
SaharaReporters has also learnt that before the
meeting with Buhari today in Abeokuta, the
former president had written a letter to Buhari to smoothen their relationship.

Soon, OBJ will release a press conference rebuking this claim.

If one tries to verify these stories flying all over the place, some stupendous nonentity will begin reciting how he spent the whole of last year preparing for e-wars.
