Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has said the Niger Delta region will suffer for the actions and inactions of the immediate past president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

Jonathan, who lost the March 28 presidential election to President Mohammadu Buhari hails from Bayelsa, a state in the Niger Delta.

Obasanjo spoke while responding to questions shortly after delivering a convocation lecture at the Benson Idahosa University, Benin City.

The ex-president said he couldn’t have helped Jonathan to do his job as Nigeria President after helping him to secure the position.

He said, “I became the Head of State because of my performance in the war front. If General Gowon had not sent me to the war front, he would not know whether I could perform or not. He sent me to the war front and because I performed, we both shared the credit. But if I had failed, he would not have shared the condemnation with me. I would have taken that alone.

“I believe that the opportunity that afforded itself in 2010 was for somebody from the minority to on his self esteem become the President of Nigeria. We should never lose such opportunity. What he did with that opportunity is entirely up to him. What he did or did not do with it will reflect for a long time on that part of the country. There is no particular person who got there without the people.”

It's unfortunately true that the minority bungled their opportunity to impress for future considerations. As things stand now, they can only wail while watching how things should be done.

I expect a backlash from this post though

OBJ, please leave GEJ and ensure you help PMB to deliver all his campaign promises.

Thank you!

we naija dey wait

Tsk! Must you control everyone in Nigeria? Please Nigerians, tell your president to watch out for this old man.

What baba sees while lying down, a million TANoids will not see it even when on an iroko tree

That man didnt help his people

Ok

Sure,
Yoruba tribe is suffering for the action and inaction of Obasanjo when he was the President.

Dear People of Ogun State and southwest generally, kindly list the special benefits you enjoyed over other states and regions during Obasanjo's 3years(military) + 8years(democratic)rule and also explain why you pelted him with sachet water on his return to ogun


If I don't get any response in 15minutes, you leave no choice than to conclude that obasanjo is uselessly useless

yes, and yolobars should not suffer for Obasanjo actions and inactions? Double standards

Sensationalism! Where did he make such statement in the interview? The useless biafranistanoids would stop at nothing to tear Nigeria apart, especially driving a wedge between the SW and SS! I am sure they are smarter than the ibos so, you can lie all you want about Obj or the Yorubas - the facts speak for themselves! Nigeria kicked the as.s of biafra to oblivion, hence you can't crying for more than 50 years! LWKMD!

This man should shutup jor. Rubbish

You just wrote your own story

I'm sure it has been burning you in your mind for long and now you've finally let it out

BIGOT
Try fighting any Igbo man you see today and post the picture on this thread.

Coward

midolian:
nope! to you.

i no fit ugly like him.

In other words; one yam(GEJ) spoil the rest(NIGER DELTA)

Baba should shut the f-up. He should stop acting as if he was HoS in 1976 through election. He became HoS because there was a failed coup that assassinated his boss Murtala Muhammed. On performance, he destroyed Nigeria's democracy in 1999 and supported Goodluck in 2010 because he wanted a stooge. His problem with Goodluck was because Goodluck grew balls. He had same issue with Yar'adua and Shagari.

You sound as though some group of people own Nigeria, if so, why do you still insist that the minority remain a part of you

Since you belong to the majority who are invariably the owners of Nigeria, what's your joy to see the minority wail

You leave me no choice than to support Nnamdi kanu in calling Nigeria a Zoo

midolian:

am a successful girl too

Baba when you speak, I don't push it off quickly. Even if its nonSENSE.
