President Muhammadu Buhari’s senior special assistant on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, on Sunday took a swipe at the ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo

Shehu recalled some incidents that occurred under his tenure, with particular mention of how some governors were forced out of office.

In a part of an essay he entitled: ‘The real price of “change the change” campaign’, he wrote: “When they ran the government at the centre, the opposition PDP showed aptitude in only one thing: the toppling of elected state governments using the police and secret service under their control.

“A five-man legislature met at 6:00 am and “impeached” Governor Dariye in Plateau; 18 members out of 32 removed Governor Ladoja of Oyo from office.

“In Anambra, APGA’s Governor Obi was equally impeached at 5:00 a.m. by members who did not meet the two-thirds required by the constitution.

“His offence was that he refused to inflate the state’s budget. The lawmakers had reportedly met with representatives of the President in Asaba, Delta State and then accompanied to Awka by heavy security provided by the police Mobile Unit. The PDP President at that time had reportedly told Obi to forget re-election in 2007 if he did not join the PDP because he (the President) would not support a non-PDP member.

“In Ekiti, Governor Fayose in his first term faced allegations of financial corruption and murder. Following the failure to heed the instruction of the presidency to impeach only Fayose and spare the deputy, Madam Olujimi, now a senator, the PDP President declared that there was a breakdown of law and order in the state and declared a state of emergency. He appointed Brig-Gen. Adetunji Olurin (rtd) as the sole administrator of the state on October 19, 2006.

“In an earlier incident in Anambra, it took an insider collaboration to thwart the unseating of Governor Ngige by a powerful thug sponsored by the PDP administration.

“The parliament at the centre seized the law-making powers of the Rivers State House of Assembly as a way to save Governor Rotimi Amaechi, the then chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum from impeachment by the PDP presidency.

“Thank God for Buhari, none of these absurdities has happened under his watch but the PDP is indicating their boredom with his meticulous observance of the constitution by calling for a return to the old order.

“If not for “dry eyes,” as said in our common parlance, what is it that would push this party to write a letter to the United Nations, laying false claims to constitutionality and alleging that democracy is presently under threat?

“But then, we all understand that by its tone, this is an angry opposition unhappy about the loss of privileges they desperately want to hang on to, privileges now abolished by the prudent, austere Buhari Administration.

“The former Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, shocked the world by the revelation in her new book, titled, Fighting Corruption is Dangerous: The Story Behind the Headlines, that they paid N17 billion bribe to the National Assembly to get them pass the 2015 budget.”

The odi and benue ground level was carried out in this regime.

Brother Buhari, doing what he knows best, making noise.....

We the people want Buhari out, and out he must go!

Yea, OBJ even toppled a democratically elected government.

All these toppling you mentioned cannot be compared with the ethnic cleansing that is going on in Benue with Buhari keeping silent and pretending not to know that people are being killed.

If Garbs Shehu cannot prove beyond every reasonable doubt that there is no corruption in this government then he should shut up and stop pointing fingers at others.

He and his principal are failures and should prepare to vacate their seats in a year's time.

Nigeria will be GREAT again.

AMEN!

Paperwhite:
Buhari have the worst histroy of
-toppling a democratically elected government of then President Shehu Shagari on the 31st.Dec.1983.
-Presiding over the worst form of human massacre by the 4th.deadly terrorist group cum his marauding & killer brothers.
Head or tail,Buhari is the worst ever seen.God will surely punish him & the incredibly wicked people he have surrounded himself with.

U are one of the attack the message and not messenger crew whenever something negative is said about the president. What about facing the topic and the contents of the body u bloody hypocrite? If u want to start a thread about Buhari, kindly do that, and stop deflecting matters arising from the old useless thief parading himself as a saviour. He is the number one problem of Nigeria!

The jobless lazy idiotic pigs of Biafra will still be wondering how buhari is faithful and always doing what the jobless lazy idiotic pigs of Biafra tell him to do.they told him to probe if he is not afraid of thief obj, they said he should arrest their supreme terrorist leader, they said he should sack babachir lawan and he did just that. Buhari is a real democrat till 2023

Tinubu made the call Saturday night, when a delegation of the party’s leaders met with Obasanjo in Abeokuta, capital of the western Nigerian state of Ogun.

“You have come out of tribulation and held the highest position in this country. We are here because of your courage and salient points. Nobody can say he has information more than you,”Tinubu said.

“You have surmounted a number of crises. Nigeria is divided more than before. To realise a stable Nigeria, we want to encourage you to continue to speak the truth. We have resolved and determined to rescue Nigeria. We want you to be our navigator”, he added.
