ABUJA – The All Progressives Congress APC has taken a
swipe at ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo over his stinging
remarks on the administration if President Muhammadu
Buhari particularly as it relates to the forthcoming general
elections.


This was as the party said it would be demeaning for its
presidential candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari to
engage his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party
PDP, Atiku Abubakar and others in a debate on the same
stage.


While the ruling party said Mr Obasanjo was being haunted
by his own past, it added it does not have any reason to
rig, asking the former president to adjust himself to current
realities, because “after February 16th, Obasanjo will
realize that he is not a god.”


Addressing a press conference Sunday evening in Abuja,
APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-
Onilu, said during Chief Obasanjo’s regime, government
policies were determined by whatever mood he (OBJ)
found himself and all decisions of government were
subjected to his whims.


How Obasanjo’s Evidence Against Atiku Will Help
Buhari —Oshiomhole


“When you are used to a particular thing, that means
something you know how to do very well. For eight years
of President Obasanjo, all the elections he held, in fact his
government policies were determined by whatever mood he
finds himself and all decisions of government were
brought under his wings, and all that he did in those eight
years are what is hunting him.


“Obasanjo can not imagine that it is possible for a
government to allow INEC statutory independence that it
has. We have had 93 elections since APC came to power
and we are sure that all those elections were conducted
without any interference from this government. In fact, if
there is anything you want to credit this government with, it
is the fact that institutions are allowed to fulfill their
mandate without anybody’s interference. So, we can
understand where the former President is coming from, his
past is haunting him.


“The 2003 and 2007 elections were nothing to write home
about and those elections happened under President
Obasanjo. So, for us in APC, votes must count. We are
going to have a free, fair and credible election. We have no
reason to want to rig elections because our achievements
speak for us. So, President Obasanjo should adjust to the
reality of imminent defeat that is staring him in the face.
He has carried himself about as the dispenser of our
destinies and God is showing him clearly that he has just
only been lucky and the favour God has done for him, he
has now considered them as things that come from him.”

Buhari won’t debate with Atiku, others Don’t Allow PDP Sabotage Democracy, Presidency Warns

APC also said it is an insult for its candidate to be on the
same stage with the presidential candidate of the People
Democratic Party PDP, Atiku Abubakar.

Issa-Onilu stated clearly that the debate is meant for those
that are seeking power and not the likes of President
Buhari who has a lot already speaking for him.

Both Atiku Abubakar of PDP and President Buhari of APC
were conspicuously missing at the live presidential debate
organised by the Broadcasting Corporation of Nigeria
(BON) and others.

He said Buhari was already engaging with the public
through several other platforms which are considered more
important and to meet APC’s interest.

He said: “The president doesn’t have to give any reason at
all for not attending that debate. The debate is just one of
the several platforms that are available for our candidate
to engage with the public, we cannot exhaust all the
platforms. So we pick the platforms that are most
impactful and we are the ones in the position to determine
which platform we want to use.


“To debate with who? That is an insult, that the president
will come debate with who? The debate the president is
having is what he did that morning in Niger state. The
people of Niger state can look forward to a brighter future.
The people of this country, everywhere they go can see
development, they can see projects going on. So these are
the debates that the president is already engaging with
public.


“So, that particular debate may be important and I think it
is important to people who are seeking power, not for
somebody who has a lot speaking for him already. So, for
us in APC, the debate as a fantastic idea it is, it is just one
of the several options for our own candidate to engage
with the public. There are many platforms we have used,
there are many platforms we are still going to use and
there are many we may not use. It is up to us to chose the
platforms that will serve own interests.


“Don’t forget, just few days before this debate came, the
president was live for two hours with Nigerians discussing
his projects. Beside him was the Vice President of this
country, talking about his projects and having very
important debate over those policies and projects with
Nigerians, with people having unfettered access and
opportunity to make calls to him, to seek clarifications and
ask questions. That for us is what our candidate needs.
That for us is more important.


Buhari Mobilises Votes For APC In Minna



“That gives us the opportunity to say we are different. We
are not in the same class with Atiku and the PDP to come
share the same stage with people who ruined this country.
To talk about what? The same people who started several
projects and they became conduit pipes and the APC
government has come in, fixing all these projects one after
the other. The same party complaining about the fact that
we are completing projects. Is that the party you want us
to stand on the same stage to debate with. Don’t take
Nigerians for granted. We are not in the same class.”

You Guys (APC)are Hunted by Your Present...

I Salute General Obasanjo.... He is a Great Father of the Nation in this Generation...


When Men and Women have become Fearful, Timid and reduced to complaint in their closets due to the Fear of being carried away or Oppressed...

Nigeria today is at a brink.. the Party in Power keeps acting as an Opposition Party...

The Challenges is far beyond Calling Names and all dt Joke...

Nigeria is being Run by a Group of men who have no idea on how to Run a pure water company... The C-in-C is so ineffective and is more of a Figure Head. It got to point that His Wife had to voice out!

Wise up Nigerians....

The Vice President who is looks to be more Effective has been reduced to an Errand Boy.... who knows little or nothing about the Happenings...





Having a Father as Obasanjo Around in a Time as this, I Am Proud to Be A Nigerian....

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

SUMMARY of Obasanjo letter is don't vote for Buhari but vote for Atiku.

Our CONCLUSION is we're going out with our families to vote massively for Buhari.

OPINION: What if after obasanjo campaign for PDP, sorry his letter to Nigerians, he still couldn't convince a single sai Baba supporter not to vote Buhari? because I, my families, my friends and like minds are still solidly behind Buhari
