Barring all unforeseen circumstances, President Goodluck Jonathan would soon visit his estranged political godfather and former President Olusegun Obasanjo to seek his support for his second term bid.

Senate President David Mark and a few chieftains of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had recently visited Obasanjo in his Abeokuta hilltop mansion, where they lobbied him to forgive Jonathan and support his second term bid.

The visit came at a time when the national leader of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, also paid the former president a visit, where he told newsmen that he was visiting the former chairman of PDP board of trustees to seek his views on his “boys” seeking presidential ticket on the platform of APC.

Although the details of what Obasanjo told Mark remained unknown, a presidency source disclosed that the visit of Tinubu to Obasanjo had unsettled President Jonathan and few of his close allies who are considering the idea of his visit to Abeokuta.

Our source, a top official of the presidency, explained that aside from Tinubu’s factor, there are other reasons why such a proposed visit is imperative, and “the visit may come up before President Goodluck Jonathan officially declares his intention to seek the second term mandate”.

“Let me tell you that the visit of Bola Tinubu to former President Obasanjo did not go down well with some people close to President Goodluck Jonathan and the president himself. We all know who Tinubu is and the havoc he has caused the party in the southwest, and how he had humiliated Obasanjo while he was in office.

OBJ can not stand in the way of GEJ because Yakubu Gowon, Shehu Shagari, Ernest Shonekan, IBB etc are behind GEJ. OBJ is just a noisemaker.

A river that forgets its source soon dries up. Too late GEJ, harmattan is around the corner.

only if GEj can agree with you.

dis time around it will be "LETTER TO OBASANJO" by GEJ

We all know who Tinubu is and the havoc he has caused the party in the southwest, and how he had humiliated Obasanjo while he was in office.

PDP: Sowing discord for personal gains since forever.

A lot may not agree, but OBJ is the only Nigerian alive that Nigerians are willing to listen to for a way out of a quagmire

jeffizy:
Obasanjo eventually becomes the courted bride.
So funny how the rejected stone is now the cornerstone.
Life!

Obasanjo NEVER forgives! Obasanjo NEVER forgets!! (So we hear).

Hoping to read that he asked the president to bring along a copy of the letter he wrote in response to his (Obj) famous letter to him (GEJ), and read it aloud.

Yeye is about to start smelling.

thats my daddy oooo

Speaking from obj mind; gej should just forget it , all this run around is too late for him and obj is a kind of who don't forget nor forgive' let see if obj will let the first mistake to repeat itself.

This must be Elder Edwin Clerk. Daddy, GEJ ask you to keep quiet till after election.

Why na ?

Without OBJ, Jonathan is a nobody in Nigeria's Political space. Without the fear of OBJ, Jonathan will be dragged out without anyone doing a thing.

OBJ is interested in what becomes the defining conclusion of his memory in Nigeria. GEJ does NOT have this locked.

Story for the gods

Obasanjo is only a former president and nothing more.
It is a norm for a politician who intends to contest an election to embark on consultations with stakeholders and Jonathans visit to OBJ is one of such.

OBASANJO IS NOT MORE INFLUENTIAL THAN IBB.
OBJ IS NOT GOD.
OBJ HAS PEOPLE HE IS ALSO AFRAID OF AND REVERENCE.
OBJ KNOWS THAT GEJ CAN JAIL HIM FOR THE NUMEROUS ATTROCITIES HE COMMITED AGAINS NIGERIANS.

NIGERIANS AND ESPECIALY THE APC SHOULD NOT FORGET THAT GEJ REMAINS THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA AND AS SUCH HAS THE ABILITY TO MAITAIN THE PEACE OR THROW NIGERIA INTO CHAOS.

THE ABOVE ARE THINGS THAT FORMER HEADS OF STATE KNOWS VERY WELL AND WILL NEVER WANT TO SCREW.

GOOD PEOPLE OF NIGERIA, GOODMORNING.

Let's be pragmatic here.

It would be foolhardy for any Southerner to seek Nigeria's highest elective office without the unflinching support of OBJ.....GEJ wouldn't have smell Aso Rock without OBJ...forget AGIP like Anenih and other opportunists and sycophants that found their ways into this present government.

OBJ remains Northerners most trusted ally in the south and his body language for any candidate may just swing the election in favour of such candidate.

Which nigerians would listen to him?

obj is enemy of masses.

Despite his experience as former head of state, he still failed woefully as the president for eight years.

You know president jonathan instead of performing excellently and people running after him dragging him to do second term, instead he perform badly and trying to woo people to him for second term.

His performance so far does not deserve second term.

GEJ, WHY NOT VISIT CHIBOK, GWOZA AND BAMA FIRST?

This is what happens When you pick the wrong person as your enemy.

There was No reason to quarrel with Obj in the first place.

thirty:

OBJ too de do gragra as if he is the only president/head of state in Nigeria.

Segeggs:
only if GEj can agree with you.

Nothing go happen if GEJ ignores OBJ. What did he do when Abacha banged him in the gulag?
