Why Obj Suddenly Appeared In Jonathan Last Elder Statesmen Meeting by 9jagistonline(m): 4:19pm On May 12, 2015 |
What could have been a repeat of February 5 drama was reversed when ex- President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, General Olusegun Obasanjo appeared at the last hour in Tuesday’s Council of state meeting held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. It would be recalled that General Obasanjo boycotted the last council of state meeting held on February 5. Weeks after that, President Jonathan revealed why Obasanjo avoided him and why the former head of state has been throwing jabs at him. According to him (Jonathan), Obasanjo’s attacks on him were as a result of his failure to surrender his administration to the former leader. Jonathan said Obasanjo was so bent on controlling his government that he would not mind installing the devil in power so long as he can control him. However, according to a report by The Nation, the former president entered the council chamber, venue of the meeting at 12.10pm, about 40 minutes behind schedule as it was reported that the meeting started at 11.30am after the arrival of President Jonathan. This comes after the Daily Trust reported that the ex-president boycotted the meeting which is supposed to be the last under outgoing president, Goodluck Jonathan. The ex-leaders who were also in attendance at the meeting are former President Shehu Shagari, former Head of State Generals Yakubu Gowon, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, Abdulsalami Abubakar and former head of the National Interim Government Earnest Shonekan. The Senate President, David Mark led the team of lawmakers which includes; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, former Chief Justices of Nigeria including Muhammadu Uwais, Alfa Belgore and Idris Kutigi. The state governors present at the meeting include; Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Olusegun Mimiko (Ondo), Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto), Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Ramalan Yero (Kanuda), Sarieke Dickson (Bayelsa), James Ngilari (Adamawa), Tanko Almakura(Nasarawa) and Gabriel Suswam(Benue), Martin Elechi (Ebonyi), Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom), Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Jonah Jang (Plateau) Liyel Imoke(Cross River), and Acting governor of Taraba State. Kano, Kogi, Oyo and Yobe States were represented by their deputy governors. The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Anyim Pius Anyim, National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki and the Chief of Staff to the President, Jones Arogbofa also attended the meeting. Meanwhile, the transition committees of the outgoing president, Goodluck Jonathan and the incoming president, Muhammadu Buhari on May 11, Monday, denied any rift between them regarding the power handover.

Obasanjo is just a grumpy hatefilled old man whose love for power is unrivalled. He seems so excited to have 'hurt' Jonathan but if the truth must be told, Jonathans mindset is far differrent from that of Obasanjo. To Obasanjo , it is a "do or die" affair, for Jonathan, it was a masterfull display of how civil engagement with politics should play out. He must have been there to rub it in, hoping to find ways to do some kind of "ntooõr" at Jonathan. But take a look at the picture, if there is anyone far more at peace with himself amongst them, it is jonathan. . A crude Obasanjo will never understand why Jonathan is not 'pained', remember he angled for a third term. . Petty minds won't. Compared to Obasanjo, jonathan operates on a higher level. . 11 Likes 3 Shares |

No where in this useless article where we told why Obasanjo decided to attend, Well if you ask me, Aremu attended for the sole purpose of sneaking in on a conversation with Buhari. Since declared winner and president elect, Buhari has been taken out of general circulation and the highest protocol second only to Jonathan extended to him. Obj has been desperately seeking a meeting with Buhari since Buhari was declared winner. He came late because he was informed last minute that Buhari will be attending for the first time since 1999. Obasanjo is nothing but a shamelesss tout 2 Likes |

Obasanj attended for the sole purpose of seeing Buhari who he has been denied access to since Buhari won the elections. Obasanjo desperetly reached out to Emir Sanusi in London early this week to arrange a meeting with Buhari. Buhari simply declined. Obasanjo should never be given access to Aso Rock again! Yaradua placed him well, Jonathan made the mistake of seeking his council early on and see how that turned out! Obasanjo should be advised to invest in full-scap papers and biros because the only way Buhari will hear him is from one of his soon to be written open letters. A shameless man who even his own children reject should never be allowed to speak on national issues. He lacks moral conviction and his hypocrisy and corrupt ways has seriously degenerated the exalted office he once occupied! Buhari should scrap this meeting for sake of obj owobokiri: 3 Likes |

realjoker: Which mockery? Obasanjo's political relevance died with PDP's loss. Do not for one second think this gerriatic adultrous man will be given a voice or say in this coming dispensation. Obasanjo is a typical bad belle yoruba man. He does not build but destroys. Buhari will do well to avoid him. The begining of Obj's grumpy ways began when he could not seek his 3rd term and also after he was edged out of the BOT chairmanship of the PDP. You may want to recall that Tony Annenih was the PDP BOT chairman during Obj's tenure. Obj seeking to remain politically relevant after leaving office eased out Annenih claiming that Annenih could not deliver his own state, Edo and so should not occupy the sit of BOT chairman this is despite the fact that every single contested sit in Ogun down to LG ward councillors went to other parties. After seeing that the BOT chairmanship does not compare to that of the President, Obj had no choice than to resign. In short Obj killed the BOTchairmanship because PDP members shunned it's advisories on the sole reason that all prounoncements from the board where seen as Obasanjo's desperate ploys to control the party. With Jonathan, Obj simply showed us which of the 2 women in the story of Solomon and the baby he was. Obj wanted to destroy the PD because he felt he had no control over it. Aremu is a despotic old fool 4 Likes 1 Share |

GEJ promised OBJ he was not going to seek a second term, a commitment which he publicly voiced at a campaign rally. Against that background and aside from the fact that he is a constituent member of the council and has every basis to be present there, Baba must have been there to smile in the face of a defeated Jonathan who failed to make his word his bond. |

charles424:No. Its because Obj has pocketed Buhari and its going to remain that way for 4yrs. Remember Buhari is the most clueless. Remember all his ridiculous gaffes during campaigns. Buhari left nobody including the international community in doubt that he is lost. And now Obj is going to use the Buhari to accomplish his third term agenda! |
