The former President made the statement on
Saturday in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital,
while speaking on the state of the nation and
giving his opinion on the election
postponement.
He, however, appealed to politicians in Nigeria
to ensure that peace and tranquillity reigned
supreme.
The former President also asked President
Jonathan not to consider the removal of the
chairman of the INEC, Professor Attairu Jega,
as the decision may truncate the nation’s
fledging democracy.
Forcing Elections Postponement
Obasanjo further accused the President of
forcing the elections postponement on the
INEC, a situation he said was designed to
make him win by all means possible and if not
create chaos and confusion in the country.
The former president, who was the nation’s
military leader from 13 February 1976 to 1
October 1979 and a democratically elected
president from 29 May 1999 to 29 May 2007 ,
further expressed pessimism on the
possibilities of achieving success in the
ongoing fight against Boko Haram by the
Nigerian military and other allied forces.
He urged the leadership of the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and the All
Progressives Party (APC) to ensure that the
nation’s democracy remains intact.
Not Consulted By INEC
During a Presidential Media Chat on
Wednesday, President Goodluck Jonathan
responded to allegations that he had forced
the INEC to postpone elections in his interest,
saying he was not consulted by the INEC on
the postponement of the elections.

Who are the WE that will seize Ota farm? So you consider yourself as part of the ruling PDP cabals right? Bros, wake up from your dream, you are just an e-troll that will be used and dumped after the election.

My own is that professional is not a go but understand why only God knows nobody. let continue pray for our country and let us know that nobody can say what will happen but may God safe Nigeria from war.

So OBJ is now a saint and a hero? Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Why do we Nigerians reason and talk like this? This same OBJ singlehandedly put Nigeria in the mess we're in today and you stage him a hero? That man is no better of a crook than Oga Jony..

Moreover, he hasn't merited the respect you people sort for him since he had to stoop low enough to sleep with his daughter in law. As if that's not enough, he's at war with his own daughter.. What respectable quality is left in this man?

All of this irrelevant noisemakers on Nairaland ehn, One can only laugh at your folly. Calling obj all sort of names coz he refused to support your obviously inept president. No matter how much y'all hate him, Olusegun Obasanjo despite his several shortcoming is arms and legs better than your President Jonathan.

At least he increased foreign reserve from 5billion usd to abt 45 billion usd. How abt excess crude account. Telecommunication etcetera. The agricultural reform that gej is making noise abt seff is obj's ishh.

He gave us gej, not directly though, he couldn't have predicted president Yar'Adua's death. He has since realised like so many of us that Jona doesn't even deserve to lead a local government area. Like every right thinking Nigerian, he wouldn't support Gej again no matter the number of times he prostrates and rolls on the floor.

Change is inevitable, obj is fully on the train of change.

I am happy that the president has publicly denied this allegation.I will believe Baba Obj if President GEJ 'allows' any further postponement after Mar 28

Ok

If Obj put us in dis mess wat did IBB brought upon us? Tell me obj did bad for bringing Jonathan as VP? Ok! Tell me u expected obj to stil help Jonathan to do his job as a president as it is obviously Jonathan is still a learner n can't lead a small community. Jonathan Kas only proved one thin, dat Nigeria can't b save in d hands of a SS/SE part of Nigeria. Check d composition of dis govt n u wil see hw it was plan to favor a particular section jst within
D stretch of 6yrs presidency. Such a shame!

Let's wait and see.

jonathan has stolen billions of dollars. his loss of power will expose the endemic corruption in his government of gregarious proportions. and knowing the nature of GMB, jonaboy will do almost anything to hold on for another 4 years to escape the hang man

How was it planned to favour a section and what has SS/SE benefited that Northern Nigeria hasn't benefited in double folds? What's the biggest impact GEJ made in SS/SE? Even his home state hasn't benefited from his rule, yet you people propelled him as a sectionist. Am not his fan but that won't make me judge him blindly.

I can only list for you this reasonable points on where GEJ failed..

He tried to please every big man/woman in Nigeria in order to favour his reelection and this was at the detriment of the populace. Funny enough, the people he tried to favour turned against him. A good example is when he was supposed to use JTF and tackle BH. That had already started but GMB cried fowl and GEJ went low on that. He wouldn't probe prominent politician because he didn't want to go out of their favour. Etc.

You shouldn't put the blame of failure on SS/SE because all our past leaders from North and SW all failed woefully and all brought this huge mess on us. We have to always take away sentiments in our judgement in order to pass out better judgement free from bias. And I don't even understand how you pass down a SS person's administration down to SE.

I bow for you people oh..
