Obj Is Boss Of All Bosses, Ignore Him At Your Own Peril - Gej by bbmate: 8:05am On Nov 14, 2017 |
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has described
ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo as the “boss of
bosses.”
According to him, any politician who ignores the
elder statesman does so at his peril.
Jonathan
Jonathan said this while speaking with Dele
Momodu, publisher of Ovation Magazine, on the
2019 election.
The immediate past president said the chances of
former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar were bright in
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, but noted that
he would need the endorsement of Obasanjo.
Jonathan said: “He (Atiku) can’t get the APC ticket.
If Atiku gets our party ticket, he would compete
well.
“He’s always a passionate politician. But he would
have to reach out to our boss, Baba OBJ, the boss
of all bosses.
“We’ve all learnt at different times that you ignore
OBJ at your peril. OBJ has the magic wand. He is
respected at home and abroad.”
Obasanjo played a major role in the political career
of Jonathan. He had influenced Jonathan’s choice
as the running mate of late President Umaru Musa
Yar’Adua.
Jonathan, who rose to the number one position
after the death of Yar’Adua, fell out with Obasanjo in
2013.
Obasanjo wrote an open letter to him. The situation
got worse when the elder statesman refused to
endorse the re-election bid of the Ijaw leader.
He was critical of Jonathan during the
electioneering period, accusing him of plotting to
win the election by hook or crook.
But Jonathan fired back by making a veiled
reference to Obasanjo. He said some elders were
behaving like motor park touts.
Both men reconciled in January when Jonathan paid
a surprise visit to Ibogun, the hometown of
Obasanjo. |
