Obasanjo Is A Father To Me And Iam His First Political Son – GEJ by Nobody: 1:11pm On Feb 21, 2015
President Jonathan says despite former Pres.
Obasanjo’s recent verbal attacks on his administration,
he still sees him as his father and his first Political
son. GEJ said God used people, including the former
president to make him become the President of Nigeria.
President Jonathan said this in an interview with Tribune
in Lagos
“First and foremost, Obasanjo is a father to me. By
divine providence and the grace of God, I am the
President of Nigeria today. It is not by my strength.
But God uses human beings to actualise His own
blessings on human beings. And He used so many
Nigerians, including former President Obasanjo, to play
one role or the other for me. I became the deputy
governor of a state, became the governor, the vice
president and president. I have no issues with him, and
I really don’t want to join issues with President
Obasanjo.
I think it is not necessary. But I will use this
opportunity, because you asked, to just plead with my
father that he is a leader, a former president of the
country. He has led the country more than anybody,
eight years of democratic governance and almost four
years of military governance. No other person has that
kind of record. The stability of this country is critical in
terms of the economy of this country. Rating agencies
downgrade countries that are going into elections because
the feeling is that there would be crisis. When you paint
the colour of instability for your own nation, you are
doing so much injustice to the country because it affects
the economy of the country, not just affecting the
country in terms of security and social issues alone. It
affects the economy directly. So, I plead with very
senior citizens that Nigeria is dear to us; we don’t
have any other country than Nigeria. So, actions and
inactions, or utterances, should be guarded so that we
don’t expose our country to the international community
as if it is a country in danger, a country that is about
to collapse. You are frightening investors, especially
those who invest hot cash, to pull out their money from
the country and that would affect the stock market and
it would affect the economy. For one reason or the
other, Obasanjo may disagree with me as his first
political son. You can even disagree with your own
biological children, as a human being, not to talk of
disagreeing with your political children. So, he can agree
or disagree with me, but the utterances have to be
managed in a way that it does not affect the economy
and security of this country”he said.
On how he felt watching Chief Obasanjo destroy his
PDP membership card on the television, Jonathan said
the incident had no effect on him because the attacks
had been consistent.

To me Obasanjo is no longer a statesman but a frustrated stateschild.
And i see no reason why he should be regarded as a father for while a father prays for his son to achieve greater than him his case is different because he never wanted anybody to outstay him in office as a president. Gudluck wants to achieve such fiat but he wants to quash it......
Well all i know is GEJ TILL 2019
