Elder Stateman and Secretary General of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Mr. Anthony Sani has said former President Olusegun Obasanjo is suffering from a dearth of vision, conviction and consistency required of a statesman.

Sani stated this following Obasanjo’s endorsement of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who he had earlier condemned.

Sani in a statement made available to newsmen noted that Obasanjo may change his mind again and withdraw his support for Atiku before 2019 with the level of his inconsistency.

He queried Obasanjo’s values, stressing that he is supposed to be an embodiment of national ideals and moral values for the nation.

The statement read: “The actions of Obasanjo reek of inconsistency which comes with a dearth of vision and conviction required of a statesman. From tearing his PDP card and saying he would no more play partisan politics.

“Then Obasanjo formed a movement which he said is the third force only for him to convert it into a political party, ADC. Then the final act, the endorsement of former Vice President Atiku.

“It is democracy in action which at once confirms the saying that the only thing that is permanent in politics is interest; no permanent friends or enemies.

“If you consider what the former President has written about his former Vice President Abubakar Atiku to the extent of saying God would not forgive him if he endorsed Atiku for president, then you can hardly avoid the conclusion that common decency is yet to take root in our democracy, especially when regard is paid to the place of the former president in the order of things in Nigeria.

“President Obasanjo is a statesman who is expected to be an embodiment of national ideals and moral values for the nation. But the way he has conducted himself by tearing his PDP card and saying he would no more play partisan politics and forming a movement which he said is third force only for him to convert it to a political party of ADC, culminating in the endorsement of former VP Atiku reeks of inconsistency that comes with dearth of vision and conviction required of statesmen.

“That may explain why most Nigerians may be curt and dismissive of the former president out of fear that he is just like a reed who can change his mind before the day of elections in 2019.”

Speaking on the North supporting Atiku following Obasanjo’s endorsement, Sani added: “It is not possible for the whole North to be with former President Obasanjo in that endorsement precisely because the former Vice President is a major challenger of the incumbent President who is also a Northerner and a Hausa/Fulani Muslim.

“As a result, politics of identity as symbolised by ethnicity, religion and of region would give way for those of real issues of real concern to real ordinary Northerners and by extension Nigerians.”

Buhari don see this one behind camera

This emergence of Atiku as PDP candidate and his reconciliation with OBJ is really giving people sleepless night o.
From now on, no more driving of saloon cars and SUVs. Only ATIKULATED vehicles are allowed on Nigerian roads.

let's forget about party.. #Atiku2019 is the real deal.. as if that one is not enough he con won my heart pata pata by choosing Peter Obi as his running mate.. tell me why I no go vote and support #Atiku2019

I don Aticulate since.......

#Atiku2019

Make i seat down here small

Buhari will get at least 70 percent of North west.
65 percent of North east.
45-50 percent of North central.
65 percent of South west.
30 percent of South south.
10 percent of South east.
This is how Baba will win next year's election

Oga Anthony, Obasanjo never said his endorsement will make the entire North queue behind Atiku.

It's a contest sir. Nigerians will choose wisely

We were better off under your purported corruption than under clueless me integrity that has Borrowed our future from everywhere

They first played the card that PDP will scatter after primaries it was not so.

They brought up the issue that Atiku cannot travel to America and that OBJ will never forgive him.

All that failed.

Now it's no longer that Buhari has failed but that because the vice is not Yoruba therefore we must continue with bad leadership.

The last person to have a sweeping vote in western Nigeria was MKO. Since 1999 till date elections in South West has always been nearly 50-50.

Yorubas must be careful not to reject Atiku. He will win. He is from the North and not Igbo.

A recent poll conducted by Northern newspaper shows Atiku has his men on ground.

Yorubas should not be drawn into divisive politics

Mr Anthony Sani be truthful for once, between Atiku and Buhari who has helped ordinary Northern more?

Did this same man in the picture said it exactly as written in the article or it was modified for him. Looking at the picture and the article. They don't relate at all.

Obj has no moral value

chinjo:
This emergence of Atiku as PDP candidate and his reconciliation with OBJ is really giving people sleepless night o.
From now on, no more driving of saloon cars and SUVs. Only ATIKULATED vehicles are allowed on Nigerian roads.

That's if Obj himself has any Electoral values. Come to Ogun state, Abeokuta to be precise, he has continuously been Losing his polling unit to the opposition. Obj daughter's , Iyabo has been condemned politically having failed to win a senatorial election in Ogun central. The only legacy he has in Ogun state is his personal Presidential library.Which would be taken over by government in due time.

Someone that consistently sleeps with his sons' wives has endorsed a looter and you guys are here using the phrase 'moral values' . Do we need to say more?
