ABUJA- FORMER Minister of Transport, Chief Ebenezer Babatope has taken a swipe at former President Olusegun Obasanjo for criticising the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan,accusing him of being antagonistic to the government of the day.

Chief Babatope who is a member of the Board of Trustees, BoT of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said that insinuations that President Jonathan has supervised corruption in the country was completely wrong and grossly mischievous, even as he dismissed talk of President Jonathan encouraging ethnicity, insisting instead, the president is a ‘gentleman who has maintained the delicate balance of power’.
According to him, Obasanjo who had served this country should go into some comprehensive and responsible steps to help in addressing the economic situation of the country, rather than throw jabs at the system in ways that were gradually becoming unnecessary.

Chief Babatope who was reacting to chief Obasanjo’s latest comments on the president, stressed that his criticisms will stand the test of time, adding, “My attention has once again been drawn to comments by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, which are definitely antagonistic to the person of President Jonathan and also antagonistic to the PDP administration that president Jonathan heads.
“When he talked some few days ago that the performance of President Jonathan was below average, I felt so bad about it and I’m very happy that one of the major newspapers in Nigeria published my immediate reactions to that statement. I did not only say that former president Olusegun Obasanjo was wrong in bringing out those sentiment about President Jonathan but I felt that it was in bad taste and that what he said cannot stand the test of time.

Babatope said who said President Jonathan has performed well in office advised reasonable and objective minded Nigerians not to allow themselves to be misled into ‘believing matters that have no basis or connection with the reality’ particularly now that elections are near.
“With due respect to his age and the position he has held, it is wrong. Nobody has ever come out to indict President Jonathan of involving himself in acts of corruption. He has never encouraged it.

Like I said in a media chat recently, President Jonathan does not allow himself to be governed by sentiments and emotions. He allows all his functionaries to defend themselves whenever any charges are brought against them. What again do you want?”

All these drama in politics sha

Olorun orun a bukun e, Oloye Ebenezer Babatope. I think Iyabo & her younger ones need to appeal to their father to stop ridiculing himself in d public all in d name of fighting Jonathan, before he finally extinguishes d prestige that remains of that family name (obasanjo). Unfortunately for d old man, he doesn't appear to have a good bond with his numerous kids.

Nairaland PRIMARIES HOLDS ON 29th Nov. 2014... you know where √√√

These are the old men deceiving Jonathan, the falsehood Jonathan chose to sorround himself with, these men will run him down and change alliegances once they are done. But the man from Otuoke will never understand.
These men always refer to Jonathan's gentility and passivity because it puts tax payers money in their pockets, and because Jonathan never questions their excesses. As long as you remain loyal to the Otuoke man, you can have your way with anything.

May our next President emerge on the platform of intelligence. We cannot afford to maintain status quo for another four years.

tell him oh.
