brainpower:



I get your point and it isn't far from what I'm saying. OBJ is power hungry, Tinubu knows he can't have it cos of the factors you talked about, GEJ is trying to thread carefully about this and that's why he didn't go. What do they all have in common? They want to be in control which means, none should be trusted especially the one that knows he can't get it at all.

ShehuAba:
Baba iyabo, you better let the whole world know where you truly belong, Before it's too late.

But one thing tells me that, He might later work for that "OTUOKE MAN".

Time shall tell.

Stelvin101:
Baba Iyabo. One weird thing about this man is Nobody truly understand this man, you can't read his mind or know his next line of action. I doubt if his own children understands him

pro01:
Until you tell me exactly how much influence Obasanjo has on the voting decision of xyz number of voters (including party convention delegates and the general electorate), you haven't said anything. The so-called visits to the Ota chicken farmer are merely social, goodwill visits. Much like how you might periodically check on your old, terminally ill uncle in the village to see how he is faring. . .

publicenemy:
President Obasanjo... Nigeria"s best president ever.



Very wise man...unlike this dickless daft whose wife controls.

maximunimpact:
OBJ is not d most consulted past leader around, ppl don't know there is one man that wields so much infuence even in prison...........countless politicians still consult d Odidigbodigbo of Africa, chief onanefe Ibori, d man whose destiny is to rule Nigeria no matter how tough his ordeals are.....

IbokUtoroh:












!bros i tire for nigerians o, like say obj alone na 30million votes him be. sha nigerians undermining thier rights since 1950

size38:
Since Baba OBJ is still a card carrying member of the PDP, I advice GEJ to go to Baba and ask for forgiveness himself. Not by sending senate president, David Mark. If it is to abuse APC and Amaechi, GEJ is ready to open his mouth and talk for 48 hours. GEJ is the one seeking to be re elected as the president of Naija and not David Mark. So GEJ should go himself

xtervaganza:
you're a sad fool



Presidents and potential presidents were seeking his support and never do well, low life, nobody like you keep asking yourself who cares

M4gunners:
APC is a Yoruba party indeed.Guy carry argument enter one side.

nedu2000:
"is d party for the yoruba people" is different from "is a yoruba party"

ShehuAba:
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo
remains indifferent to the pressures
coming from the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) and the All Progressives
Congress (APC), which both sent
emissaries to him on Friday asking for his
support, LEADERSHIP Sunday can now
authoritatively reveal.


The leadership of the APC, represented by
one of its national leaders, Asiwaju
BolaTinubu; former deputy chairman
(South), Segun Oni, and a few others
were in Abeokuta to lobby Obasanjo over
the coming general elections.
On the other hand, the Senate President,
David Mark, and some chieftains of the
ruling PDP also came calling, apparently
on behalf of both the Presidency and the
leadership of the party, asking Obasanjo
kto “forgive and forget the past” and begin
working for the party as it prepares for
the same election.


According to inside sources, both groups
were given the desired audience they
sought for by Obasanjo, but he “refused
to give his word” to either of the
emissaries.
“Both of them had separate audience with
Baba (Obasanjo). They came to lobby him
for their parties against next year’s
general elections, but he refused to give
his word to either of them,” a source
disclosed.


Speaking in the same vein, another source
said, “Tinubu, like he told the journalists
around after the meeting, came to ask for
Baba Obasanjo’s support for his party. He
explained to him about the coming
presidential primaries of his party and the
leading aspirants, (General) Buhari, former
Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Kano
State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso.
j“He asked Baba if he had anyone at heart
he would like to be the presidential
candidate since he knows the three of
them, but Baba appreciated the trust
Tinubu has in him, but he reminded him
that he is still a PDP card-carrying
member, but as a former president, all the
parties in the country belong to him. He
advised Tinubu to let his party follow due
process as laid down by the Electoral Act
and the party’s constitution,” the source
said.


When it was the turn of the PDP, “David
Mark appreciated Baba for his love for the
jcountry and urged him to rekindle his love
for the PDP as former President and
former chairman, Board of Trustees of the
party. Although he refused to go into the
details, but he made reference to the cold
war between Baba and President
Jonathan and asked Baba to forgive and
forget the past,” the source said.
“Again, Baba thanked the delegation and
said he is always available to contribute
jihis best for the nation. He said whatever
jroles he deems fit, he would still play it.
Baba told him that he bears no grudge
iagainst the party, reminding the
delegation that he remains a strong
member of the PDP.”


Another source who corroborated what
we had been told however gave reasons
for the position of Obasanjo.
“You should not forget that Baba is not
only a retired general, but he has ruled
there country more than anyone else, either
living or dead, and he knows the
implication of giving promises to anyone.
I believe it is too early to predict what he
would do. There are three options left
before him: to forget the past and
campaign for Jonathan, though that
would hurt him because up till now,
Jonathan has not told Baba he is
contesting; to dump PDP and join APC, or
work for its candidate.

But if I may tell
you, the only person that could make that
happen is if somebody like Kwankwaso
emerges the candidate, which I doubt too
much; and the third option is for Baba to
be playing the role of an elder-statesman
who would not shut his doors against
whoever comes to him,” he concluded.

kITATITA:


That's not fair at all. Obasanjo did his best for this country on the two separate occasions that he led. The country he led was more united while he was in power. I agree that he should be apolitical but don't think that OBJ should show indifference. Baba, please earn your pension.

M4gunners:
I knew it already that you are an argumentator. Abeg make i watch Ftball.

Ad4:
The era of godfatherism must end in this country.That has been one of the reasons we can not practice full democracy in Nigeria.If I was GEJ,I will not beg OBJ for any reason! I will go all out and use all within my ability to ensure my return. After all,its all about the people.
OBJ,can not win any election even in his street at Abeokuta. He has been overrated over the years. His mates like IBB has left the stage and is allowing the younger generation to take the stage. If OBJ wants to be relevant,he better move up to an elder states man for his own good.

omenka:
Wise men care and that's why they keep consulting with him. But I don't expect kids with no idea about the mechanics of Nigerian politics to.

Obj is just waiting to see in which direction the tide is flowing before taking a plunge.

Wise old fox.
