Eedris Abdulkareem has revealed he is
strongly behind president Jonathan’s
second term bid and wants Buhari to pave
way for the youth.He also opened up on
his relationshio with former president
Obasanjo.Excerpts from his new interview
with Encomium
What’s your current relationship with
former President, Olusegun Obasanjo?
Obasanjo is my best friend and
my mugu.
Can you expatiate more on what you
meant by mugu?
What I’m saying is that when I
came back from raising the
Olympic touch, God inspired me to
sing Nigeria JagaJaga. Luckily for
me, the then president (Obasanjo)
came on a national television,
insulted my family and all sorts.
Some people said the President
might kill me, but I told them,
“I’m not scared of anybody. I’m
a muslim, I fear no one except
Allah. I read my Quran.” So, I was
happy that Obasanjo replied
because his response brought
food to my table. He made a
superstar and elevated me above
all my colleagues with his
reactions to my song. That’s why
I said he’s my mugu.
Why do you think Jonathan is the right
choice?
First, everybody has a choice, but
for me, Jonathan is my choice.
For goodness sake, Buhari has
ruled us before. He was the
governor of North Eastern State
(presently Yobe and Borno). He
was also the Minister of
Petroleum and Mineral Resources
when he was 32. He was also
Chairman of NNPC at 36, and at
41, he became the head of state.
What else does he want? We are
tired of him. We want to move on.
We want a young man like
Jonathan. To me, the whole Boko
Haram saga was created by some
people to humiliate Jonathan so as
to make him look like a fool. This
propaganda doesn’t work
anywhere. It’s only Jonathan that
can save Nigeria if allowed for
the second time.
There is speculation that you have
collected huge sum of money from
Jonathan to campaign for him, how true
is it?
Collected? Do I need to collect
money before showing support for
president that meant good for
this country? I didn’t collect any
money, I have not even met the
president. If I’m opportuned to
meet him, I have one question to
ask him, “Why did you say you
don’t want to jail anybody,
including the corrupt politicians?

I stand with you idris,obj was a bully .

Only tribalistic impetus blinded by hate and agony will vote old Buhari.

Whatever happened to the leaders of tomorrow( the youths) whom decided to abandon their responsibilities in the hand of grandpa Buhari .
