Former Nigerian president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has refused to back President Goodluck Jonathan for re-election. Obasanjo distanced himself from endorsing Jonathan despite being asked for his direction on the forthcoming general election by traders who paid him a courtesy visit at his Abeokuta home.
While responding to the request of the traders on the way forward ahead of the 2015 political dispensation, the former President said Nigerians have to be alert and vigilant to collectively battle the situation.
“We have to be at alert. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, if we will get ourselves out of the morass we find ourselves in, it has to be done by each and every one of us. We all have contribution to make and should not leave our responsibility for others to do for us. If we fail to participate in things that are meaningfully positive for this country, you will be a victim and we all become victims,” Obasanjo warned.
Obasanjo told the 150 traders from across the 36 States that visited him that, “as far as the next political dispensation is concerned, I cannot decide yet, we should all resort to spiritual guidance for help.”

“As for me, we don’t know where we are going yet, may God show us the way. The way that will take this country and make it a great country and well for me too. I understand and If I see the way, I will tell you. I pray that God will show me the way, may God show you the way,” the former President declared.

In her reaction, the leader of the delegation, National President of the Nigerian Market/Traders Council, Yeye (Mrs) Osho said the traders wanted to get the direction of the former President on the 2015 election.
She said the council had tremendous support of the former President during his eight year-rule. “As such, we deem it necessary and as a mark of respect to come and find out on which direction we are going. He had told us to wait and we shall pass the message to our members throughout the country, that Baba is yet to decide”, the market leader said.
Among the dignitaries that were with the former President to welcome his guests were the Iyalode of Yorubaland, Alaba Lawson and one of the aides to President Olusegun Obasanjo while in office, Dr. Gbolade Osinowo.

Ma jex dey observe

He can go to hell for all I care. Jonathan will emerge victorious next year without his support and he will be put to shame. Yeye dey smell

@Op, how many voters" card is Obasanjo carrying?

oyo for GEJ

Who cares?




GEJ till when Naija wins another World Cup

ok

Op, ur title is misleading, I don't see where obasanjo said he is not supporting jonathan. U people and propaganda. GEJ till nollywood movie makes $1 billion at d box office.

Not surprised, OBJ agreed to return power back to the north, GEJ serendipitously emerged president as result of yaradua's death.

To hell with his support who is begging him for support sef weather he supports him or not GEJ would still win 2015 election. GEJ till 2019. Obj can go and hug transform and blow.

So they went to meet him to ask him for directions to 2015?

If as an adult you don't know which direction you should follow now politically and you are seeking someone to show you, you don't deserve the voter's card.

Much respect to the General.

If I hear Gej till 2019 thunder go fire all of u. Y are u playing with young lad's future the man is cool but he is simply incapable to rule a country like naija can't u guys reason for once, becos u are being paid doesn't mean u shull not use ur brains now. Things are spoiling u fools are happy, he is in Germany while boko haram are here killing and acquiring land, if any member of ur family has died a mysterious death from boko u won't be here to shout GEJ, let him go and find something else to do na. Was he born to cause the disintegration of Nigeria? Them send am make him come finish us, the traces of Assu strike and fuel subsidy removal is still haunting us, nigerian in debt and u are still proclaiming this man. Is it that u can't think becos of how much u are being paid or u are wicked? Abeg now let this man go he is simply not capable

OBJ is going to throw his weight behind Buhari!!!1
Up APC!

I really can't see where OBJ made any reference to Jonathan's ambition.

Then again, our journalists...

tit: OBJ is going to throw his weight behind Buhari!!!1
Up APC!

If he does that, he has destroyed himself politically.

APC has nothing to offer Nigerians

And a nonentity like you would know that? You used to have some sense but fhoolishness has ruined your brain like cancer. You have only 1 voters card, go and give it to your god PDP and let others do what they want with theirs and it that is APC, it is their choice!

The inbreeding old man could not win a mere senatorial election for his daughter now he is looking for a presidential candidate to endorse!! Smh .OBJ is politically irrelevant as far as the 2015 elections are concerned.He cannot even annoint a LG candiadate in any of the political parties be it APC or PDP

No wonder GEJ hired 1000 Pastors to go and beg

.

Interesting. Lol

I am not giving my vote for PDP neither am I giving it to APC. They are both useless to me.

I vote for individuals

We should all beg him. Our very reliable Elijah should please forgive his God chosen Elisha. Forgiveness is the ISSVE here.

So don't complain when they treat Nigerian badly, our vote is a weapon against the politicians but we fail to see that

Exactly that is why u rather vote for individuals rather than vote based on party politics. See as they are changing party anyhow. Shameless set of people with no political idealogy

we dont need his backing.afterall he never backed gbenga daniel but he won his 2nd term bid.it was under his watch that PDP lost all the SW states,so what significance will his support be.did he support tinubu when tinubu was busy truncing him in lagos?
GEJ doesnt need him
GEJ till 2015

Mekateka: @Op, how many voters" card is Obasanjo carrying?

@Mekateka, let me give you a hint: how many voters are waiting for his directives on what to do? If you answer that correctly then you are good.

and are you among those waiting for Obasanjo"s directive on who to support?

Obasanjo's "support" translates to how many votes on election day? We're talking about a despised figure who cannot deliver his own polling booth even if his life depends on it!

It's funny how Nigeria's media likes to glorify inconsequential characters. Presuming that this man has the slightest ability to influence the outcome of the presidential election (or ANY other election for that matter) is the height of idìocy.
