Why Obasanjo Is Crying Again by danduke85: 7:18pm On Jan 24, 2019
Barely 26 days to the Presidential elections, the self-acclaimed purist and Nigeria's political kingmaker, Olusegun Obasanjo has spoken again, reiterating his call for Nigerians to vote out President Buhari.

His grouse: the administration has not lived up to expectation especially in the areas of security and the fight against corruption. He even attempted to say the administration is despotic, lacking democratic tenets. Obasanjo who recently endorsed Atiku also called on Nigerians to vote for Atiku.

Some of us that were actively involved in the truncation of his heinous third term agenda and remember his political maneuvering and desperation are bewildered that the man, lacking in morality could muster the courage to speak about governance as he represents everything reprehensible about governance.

I am more shocked because his latest attack is coming a few days after Atiku assured that he would make his friends richer because they are entitled to be wealthy. He further vowed to sell the NNPC, the lone national patrimony. Is Obasanjo now one of Atiku's friends? Is Obasanjo the head boy of Atiku's kingmakers (IBB, Gasau, Saraki, TY Danjuma, Abdulsalam, Kwankwaso, Sule Lamido, etc)? Has Atiku promised to return the retired Generals to power or allow them unfettered access to the treasury?

Today, Obasanjo, like one heavenly saint pontificates on the ills of other administrations. He has written to all Presidents except himself. He has accused successive Presidents of all the sins he committed and institutionalized while in office, yet failed to apologize to Nigerians for laying the foundation for the pathetic state Nigeria has found herself today.

Apart from jettisoning the rule of law by ignoring Court rulings including those of the Supreme Court, Obasanjo's era witnessed an unprecedented level of political assassinations and insecurity. In brazen disregard for the law, opposition elements were harassed and arrested by the Police. Police Chiefs that failed to do his biddings were sacked. The EFCC became government's 'whipman' and attack dog, unleashed on politicians that opposed his administration. His tenure was even more than that of Abacha.

In flagrant disregard for the Rule of Law, Obasanjo ordered the leveling of Odi and neighboring communities, an act that could have seen him being jailed by the ICC.

Apart from Odi, Obasanjo also ordered the killings of innocent Nigerians in Zaki-Biam, Benue State. His administration is still being dragged today for stealing $16billion meant for the power sector, a development that led to the near-collapse of the power sector with many power projects abandoned.

He illegally removed some State Governors including Ngige, Rasheed Ladoja, Fayose, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha. He Sacked National Assembly leadership at will, removed PDP National Chairmen whenever he felt they were not doing his biddings and had Maurice Iwu that was rigging elections for the PDP.

Obasanjo must not always select leaders for Nigerians. Nigerians have experienced, in the last 3 years, the administration of Buhari and they also know the track records of those jostling to replace him. They should be allowed to choose without interference.

Black pot calling kettle black. Why complaining about Buhari, I think he hate Atiku with passion and he said he's not fit to be our president why the sudden change? Are you afraid of been prosecuted if Buhari win. You know that Atiku cannot probe you because you are there together and you know if he probes you, you're going down together. So, he will not. That's why the impromptu support you have for Atiku.

Forget about Mr agbaya obasanjo,he has no any political relevant especially in the south west. Only the gullible people will believe he has a stand to fix any president in Nigeria. I'm telling the truth. He can't even be assured of winning his polling unit in ota. His only political chance rely in south east. Meanwhile atiku will win in south east but fail in north and south west. That's a fact
