As Senegal holds its presidential election Sunday, mediatory role of former President Olusegun Obasanjo in the political crisis plaguing the country suffered a setback last night as anti-President Abdoulaye Wade protesters turned down Obasanjo's proposed two-year in office for Wade and ordered the former Nigerian President to leave their country.

Obasanjo, who arrived Senegal last week to mediate a solution to the political standoff in the country, had told the people at a news conference that Wade would step down after two years of his election for a third term in office.

His news conference was however interrupted by anti-Wade protesters who screamed: "Leave our country Mr. Obasanjo. We will never accept it."

Eighty five-year-old Wade has thrown himself up for re-election in today's presidential race. He is, however, running for a third term in office, contrary to the term limits he had introduced into the country's constitution.

Good.I am surprise he was welcomed at Ojukwu's funeral,desecrating the great man's corpse

any thing born by snake ll always be long. d ed.iot thinks that senegal is naija where anything goes. he should shamefully carry himself back to his ota farm

OBJ should leave Senegal now then. the Senegal peeps have spoken.

God bless the people of Senegal. Get the incestuous demon OUT of your country as soon as you can.

Shame Obj! He suppose 2 have died b4 now self. Obj is now becoming international virus, nt only naija virus.

Wise elders are hard to come by in African governance.

Oh, what would we not do for a Mandela in West Africa. The man sacrificed his entire life for the struggle, yet when offered leadership accepted so reluctantly - and couldn't wait to jump out after his first term.

Our own elders are masters at formenting crisis of leadership just so they could stand in front and pretend to find solutions for us.

The people of Senegal must see that this latest "egg-head" dictator does not succeed.

this man is an old fool - does he think everyone is as dumb as he is - i'm glad the senegalese people humiliated the hell out of him - fool.

dont they have snipers in that damn country?

Don't forget that obj is a close ally of wade of senegal. He is somehow instrumental behind Wade choice. Senegalese should have beat him up very well before deportation.

What is that GORILLA doing there

A shameless man, he tried and failed for 3rd term in Nigeria, and he is encouraging a despot after eight years to still stay in Power. what a shame

Is PDP now in Senegal?

Wade has been in power for more than 11 years now. He assumed office in April 2000.

ABEGGY LEAVE THEIR COUNTRY JORRAY!!!! abi na by force

how embarrassing.  

Actually the opposition shouted "leave our country alone, don't destroy it like you destroyerd your own"!!! Its on aljazeera.Obj didn't even show any concern and went about his business as usual.Trust obj!!!! Unitl the protesters were peacefully ushered out of the venue.

Big foo-l.how can you ask or support an 85yr old man to run for 3rd term. In fact OBJ is still with same madness that pushed him to clamor for 3rd term

Silly old man,what was he thinking?does senegal and nigeria sound alike?hahaha I dey laugh,them for throw things at him sef that would have helped convey the message better.

Dem no get fuel and Tyre?

President Wade is Eighty five years? And needs a third term? Wow, wow, wow! African leaders!

Third Senegal and OBJ, things are getting better as each day come by

Wade told OBJ  not to run for a third term back then
He refuses to heed his own advise& gets OBJ to endorse his ambition.
Hmnn, classic

@85 when will this man go into retirement?Greed is a terrible thing.

Imaging that, and Africans would say that Nigerians are the crafty ones.

Somebody should have thrown shoes at that sex maniac.As was done to Bush in Iraq.

It's unfortunate that OBJ continued to make a full of himself at his age. For God sake he could have convinced Wade to step down for peace to reign. Certainly they are bird of the same feather.

Sometimes i blame Abacha for delaying up things when he could have given this old foool a VIP treatment and save Nigerians of this evil

Wow. OBJ, the ultimate egoncentric Dinosaur, still posturing decietfully as a "peacemaker" and "solutions provider"? Well, all this is indicative of the relatively poor political sophistication of Africans. It is a tragic comedy (sadly for ordinary Africans) that the likes of OBJ continues to junket around Africa pretending to mediate "for ways forward"  .

Senegal please take him for keeps, we are tired of him already.

dangerous man obj Senegal can see his doggedness from a mile
