Olusegun Obasanjo Declares He Is Now ‘ABJ’ - Anything But Jonathan


BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKJAN 13, 2015

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo today escalated his rejection of President Goodluck Jonathan’s second term bid by declaring his current mindset to be “Anything But Jonathan” (ABJ).

Obasanjo and APC leaders in a group photograph after the meeting t his hilltop mansion in Abeokuta
He expressed his feelings to several of his aides following a late evening meeting with President Jonathan at his home in Abeokuta. Both men were in the presence of Pastor Adejare Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, and Bishop David Oyedepo of Winner’s Chapel.

To make matters worse, a few hours after meeting with Jonathan, Obasanjo met with leaders of the All People’s Congress (APC) and their presidential candidate, Muhammad Buhari, where he affirmed he will support the best candidate regardless of party affiliation.

Jonathan’s closed-door meeting with Obasanjo clearly failed to soften the former leader’s hostility towards his floundering re-election bid as Obasanjo bluntly told him that having referred to him as a “tout”, it was hypocritical for Jonathan to turn around to describe him as the best president Nigeria ever had. It would also be recalled that two months ago, presidential adviser Doyin Okupe gave Jonathan that honor.

On Sunday, as he received members of the Northern Elders Council in Abuja, an angry Mr. Jonathan had in a barely-veiled description of Obasanjo, dismissed him as a statesman.

"Some people call themselves statesmen but they are not, they are just ordinary politicians,” Jonathan told his guests. “To be a statesman is not because you have occupied a big office before, but the question is what are you bringing to bear? Are you building this country or are you a part of people who tell lies to destroy the country?”

Upon arriving at the meeting with Obasanjo today, Jonathan tried to turn on the charm, lavishing praise on Obasanjo as he blamed the escalation of attacks on him as the work of his (Jonathan) aides.

President Obasanjo apparently did not buy any of the goods Jonathan was hawking. Shortly after the encounter, he told his aides he would not change his position on Jonathan’s presidential bid.

Obasanjo’s subsequent and open display of affection towards the APC leadership is reportedly sending shock waves up and down Jonathan’s camp, where it is regarded as confirmation that the conciliation efforts with Obasanjo have collapsed, leaving him in grave political danger with the election just one month away. It will be the first time a PDP candidate tried to win the presidency with Obasanjo not the candidate, or firmly on his side.

SaharaReporters has also learnt that before the meeting with Buhari today in Abeokuta, the former president had written a letter to Buhari to smoothen their relationship.

Jonathan is a fool. Even a taxi driver in lagos will tell you that obj can hold a grudge for decades. What are his advisers paid for? One day you abuse him, next day you send party chairman to beg with half a dozen governors in tow. Even obj knows a fake disciple and Jonathan should just man up, ignore obj, and lose the election with the remaining scraps of dignity he can muster. Like his double talk about MEND, no one can be sure what the President's opinion on a topic might be from week to week. A gormless individual who has been elevated far beyond his capacity. #pathetic

What Jonathan is doing is called campaigning.

During election you reach out to everyone and explain your stand.

Obj can choose to go against his party, that his his business, but to move our democracy forward there must be party discipline.

It is shameful that OBJ is in PDP and he is entertaining opposition candidates, that is anti-party activity anywhere in the world, our constitution, with the many ambiguities in it, make it very difficult to enforce party discipline currently, OBJ might be getting away with it his indiscipline today but it will be remembered someday. PDP will use it against him in future and APC will not trust him to be loyal.

Please, if the pdp has had enough of obj, let them expel him. Doesn't anyone in the pdp have a spine? Even to sack the embarrassing Stella Oduah the president was equivocating. He needs to grow some balls, damn. Of course we can all see the results, indiscipline in all corners of the party. Truly this Otuoke man no leadership qualities at all.

it is a shame gej make GMB look like the best candidate!
If the gej had not failed himself, their is nothing the northern leaders could do no matter how much they threatened, her good works would speak and the masses will defend him like the period of Yaradua health saga. but, he listened to those who deceived him for their selfish interest.
1. where is Edwin Clark the orator of his downfall today?
2. pej wage war against Turai immediately she became first lady over a NGO land belonging to Turai in abuja forgetting she is waging war against the north case still in court I guess.
3. Aba moro was publicly condemned yet gej failed to act
4. Against the $20b scam gej should set up kangaroo committee n waited for sanusi term as governor of CBN to complete without renewal but he acted of of reasoning with d removal
5. was gej responsible for chibok girl abduction but he took the blame for not acting swiftly
6. His aide act out of control to attack anybody who against gej n where r they today to safe his anticipated defeat?
7. ALL THE MEN AROUND GEJ ARE HIS GREAT ENEMY FOR THEY FAILED TO TELL HIM THE TRUTH IN OTHER TO BUTTER THEIR INTEREST NOW HE RECEIVED CRITICISM FOR THEM ALL!

May the Lord bless you a thousand times for the bolded portion, above, as it mirrors my premise, succinctly.

Am of the opinion and belief that GMB is not the messiah the country has been waiting for hence he won't be having my vote either but this

I agree though that we do need a change.........from this buffoon who is currently masquerading as our extant occupant of aso rock.

Why do you forget so soon? Didn't Ayo Fayose even as a member of PDP campaigned for Kayode Fayemi of AC in 2007? What was his punishment? Even Asari Dokubo was in Ado-Ekiti to campaign for AC.
