"The President came here to ask for my support. I had only
15minutes prior notice before his arrival. When he came, I
took him to my bedroom and had a chat with him. When he
left his people said I have endorsed him. What am I
supposed to do, deny it? No. For me, that is not a problem
because I am a leader and what I say or don't say will give
mileage to any party.
When he came here I told him that he made two political
mistakes: first was to lose Rotimi, the Governor of Rivers
State. When the crisis was going on, Governor Rotimi was
here to pay me a visit. I confronted him and he spoke to me
very honestly. Despite the problems, he was not ready to
leave the PDP then. Gen. Obasanjo, myself and a few others
intervened in the matter as leaders of the party but the
president did not foresee the current situation and didn't take
our advice seriously. Rotimi is one young man I like so
much for his honesty. He is very bold and alway committed
to his conviction.
I told president Jonathan that the second mistake he made
was to call Obasanjo a motor pact taut. What an insult.
That was wrong and the beginning of his problems. How
many times had he seen Obasanjo insult Gowon. I told him
that supporting him would mean to endorse the insult on
Gen Obasanjo. I won't.
I advised him to go make peace with Governor Rotimi and
Gen. Obasnjo. I told him it is almost getting late. I said to
him, you must visit Obasanjo to apologize to him. I don't
think that the outcome was favourable because it was
already late.
A lot of persons have been calling me to raise concern that
the President would use the Military to rig the election and I
say to them that it is not likely. There is esprit d'coup. Most
of the soldiers you see today are boys to our boys. President
Jonathan has no option than to allow the election hold and
to declare the winner. I advised him on this. Several other
persons, both local and international, have also advised him
on the consequences of using soldiers to influence the
election. I am sure, he won't."
