Former President has unleashed another attacks on President Goodluck Jonathan, acussing him of playing politics of do-or-die like President of Côte d’Ivoire, Laurent Gbagbo and that Jonathan is afraid of being jailed by Buhari if he loses.

Obasanjo said this on Saturday at his hiltop mansion in Abeokuta while speaking with newsmen shortly after he came back to the country from his overseas trips

Obasanjo while reacting to the postponement of the election said, the postponement of the election was a grand plan by Jonathan and his cronies to perpetuate office till the situation becomes clear that the election would favour him.

He acussed Jonathan of playing a brand of politics played by President Gbagbo who he said had delayed the presidential election of the country and when he eventually conducted the election and lost refused to leave the office.

According to Obasanjo, I was away because I had a number of assignment abroad which took me to Morocco, Munich, Nairobi, London and New Delhi. Exactly a week today, when we were in Munich for what they called Munich security conferences annual event and all people who are in security community normally, you found them there.

“For this year, the Vice President of America was there, the Secretary of State, John Kerry was there, the Chancellor of Federal Republic of Germany was there, President of Ukraine was there and many others

“I was there with Koffie Annan, our side was to talk about peace and security in Africa, I was to handle the African perspective while Koffie Annan was to look at it from the global perspective.

“While I was out, I refused to make any categorical statement on this issue because I wanted to come back home and learn at first hand what actually transpired and what was going on, and it turned out to be a forced decision on the INEC because it was alleged that the Security Chiefs were unable to provide security and as a result the Chairman of INEC had to postpone, in accordance with the dictates of the so called Security Chiefs.

“I thought for me, that was bad precedent for democracy in Nigeria, it meant it doesn’t matter what preparation or lack of preparation any electoral body could make in Nigeria, the final decision weather election will take place on the day scheduled for it lies in the domains of the security, it is a sad day for democracy in Nigeria.

“And I will say this, we must all feel concern before democracy is killed. The observable and what would appear to be happening is that the president has a grand plan, a grand plan to ensure that by hook or by crook, he wins the election or if it all fails, they scuttles it and create chaos, confusion and unpleasantness in the whole country.

“Because it is the duty and function and responsibility of the security officers to provide security, the President is the Chief Security of the country and he is the Commander in Chief and if security is required anywhere anytime, it is his duty to provide it, failure to provide it is deriliction of duty, pure and simple.

“Either the President following his own grand plan or his aides and associates are working a script, they are playing a script which must not got his endorsement if not initiated from him.

“What again it looks to me is that the President is trying to playing Gbagbo, Gbagbo was the former President of Cote d’Ivoire and Gbagbo made sure he postponed the election in his country until he was sure he would win and then allowed the election to take place, he got an inconclusive election in the first ballot and I believe this is the sort of thing Nigeria may fall into if I am right in what I observed as the grand plan and then in the run-off, Gbgbo lost with 8% behind Ouattara and then refused to hand over. All reasonable persuasion and pleading was rebuffed by him and he unleashed horror in that country until nemesis caught up with him.

I believe that we may be seeing the repeat of Gbabgo or what I called Gbagbo saga here in Nigeria, I hope not .

on dis, especially the bolded, the Old man really makes sense. And jst like him, I hope not.

Baba has seen more than anyone. When he was in govt,he did what Jonathan cannot do. He started efcc,icpc,nafdac and all these agencies were active during his time. But when he left,jonathan govt renders these agencies inactive.

^^^OBJ.....the gift that keeps on giving!

this should make front page

No form of intimidation will deter us from reclaiming our country.

We are as determined as the shephards from the east who fixed their gaze on the lone star that guided them to the birthplace of Christ.

Becos GEJ smart pas OBJ na him d pain am.

Obj is just an irrelevant old man, thank God Jonathan doesn't reply him. He thinks he is a barking Dog.

They are all lamenting because GEJ wants to take the oil wells away from them. GEJtill2019.

this old mumu no dey shame? after looting this country dry, he is now appearing saintly before the public. smh

Senile egomanaic

I just pity old man OBJ. GEJ wud soo reduce him to councilor level in politics wen he wins.
Jeez to think that this is d same man that wanted to perpetuate himself to power for life suddenly loves the unity of this country. All the evils u can think of during election happened under this very man.

Harry marshal, bola ige, Barister Igwe, and soo many political assassination had a filed day duing your reign baba. U can only deceive the under 20s. There was nothing like election during ur time. Now that u can vote and ur vote counts ur here spewing rubbish. How did u even become one of the richest man when u had nothing comming out of prison. What about ur library. Abeg pack one side make person see road.

Very rich coming from Obasanjo. Is he having a laugh? Why this spent force is giving the time of day is beyond me.

dont mind the tattard old dirty ape

This Old hag won't just retire in peace ffs.

He keeps talking trash and I just can't figure what he gains from it. Always heating up the polity.

Only former head of state that is ranting. Now I understand why the daughter wrote that letter, she knows she has a b1tch for a dad.

Please this OLD BABOON should kindly give Jonathan some breathing space !!! Just few days ago he said he'll keep mute on National Issues till after the Poll. Now I wonder what got into his Brain that made him become a talkative all of a sudden? OBASANJO has no moral ground to speak ill of Jonathan! Hence his government was more currupt than this present Government. he's of Age! I think its about time he go and Rest! He should stop constituting Nuisance to the Polity!! Can't this man leave PDP and Join APC for Good since he's obsessed with the party?

can you imagine a man like OBJ who was about amending our constitution to give himself a third term accusing GEJ. Wonders will never cease...

Someone needs to call OBJ by the side and tell him that our memories are not that short...

OBJ AFRAID OF GOING TO JAIL IF GEJ WINS!

Ha!

did you just write that OBJ is your Baba & he started NAFDAC... Chai... There is a saying in Igbo that says “madu kwue okwu amara afo ole odi. (when a person speaks you will know his age.)“

Even if you are 80years saying that OBJ started NAFDAC has shown that you didnt even know that OBJ was about changing our constitution to remain in office for life.

Thank God for Atiku & house of Assembly members that stopped him...

Gej has to be afraid
