Former Deputy National
Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP,
Chief Bode George has
said he prays former
president Olusegun
Obasanjo won’t end like
Saul in the bible. In an
interview published by
Vanguard, George was
asked about his opinion
on Obasanjo leaving the
party and what he
thinks about him
tearing his card while he
left. George says it’s
unfair because
Obasanjo has
benefitted a lot from
PDP. When his
businesses were down,
he was called in and
was helped, George
explained. I really don’t
want to insult an elderly
man, because in Yoruba
land it is wrong, George
cautioned himself in the
interview as he tries
not to insult the elder
statesman. Continue…
How do you see the
decision of former
President Olusgun
Obasanjo to dump
the PDP?
It is very sad. After he
came out of
incarceration, when
most of his businesses
were down, the party
invited him and put a
new beginning into
baba. He has benefitted
from the party.
I don’t think that I have
heard of this that a
man, who has been to
the pinnacle to tear the
party’s card publicly.
There are things you
should not expect an old
man to do. It is unfair.
Very unfair. This leaves
a sour taste in the
mouth of those who
were part of his
rebuilding. It is a very
bad decision.
But Obasanjo says
President Goodluck
Jonathan plans to
perpetuate himself
in government like
former Ivorian
President Laurent
Gbagbo?
He (Obasanjo) says he
is a Christian and as a
Christian, it is
emphasised in the New
Testament of the Bible
where Christ said judge
not so that you will not
be judged. But his
judgement is no longer
about the policies of
Jonathan. He has gone
down to the extent of
saying Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari will
jail you that is why you
are afraid.
Talking to elders
with respect
I am holding my breath
because in an African
setting, you talk to
elders with respect and
that is why I am trying
to get the right words
to describe my feelings.
Baba (Obasanjo) is not a
young man.
He was head of state
at 39. So averagely, he
should be about 84 or
85 and I am requesting
that he should
graciously fade away
into the midnight.
I want to plead with
Baba. God has been kind
to him and he has
served his own time. I
don’t want to conclude
that his life will be like
King Saul in the Bible. I
pray it will not be so.
Baba has played his role.
No generation can finish
any job. Nation building
is a continuous exercise.
You come, do your own
and go back into history.
The young will read to
know about their past
so that they will not
repeat the same
mistakes. That is why
no man can finish the
job. It is becoming
unnecessarily
contentious and the
attack on the President
who is much younger
calls for caution and I
will plead and beg some
of our obas that there
is a need to talk to baba
to remain at that
pinnacle of
respectability. It is
becoming too personal.

Obasanjo has spent his time already. He is old now and secured in all sense of the word. He is catching his fun and I believe Lamido understand the man better.

Don't lose sleep at his antics, thats why he is Obasanjo and this 'sanjoism' has been working for him since forever that he has been in circulation for almost half of the century in Nigeria politics.

Maybe his middle name 'Okiki' (fame) also worked for him too.

The only reason why people like Bode George don't fade into obscurity in shame and even have audacity to quote Bible is because they live in Nigeria, Jonathan's Nigeria, where corrupt ex-convicts are pardoned and given leadership positions.

Bode George should be praying not to be sent to Kirikiri the second time by Buhari.

.

My special pleads to these oldtism leaders are for once they should leave a good legacy.
History awaits you all.

THIS KASHAMU IS A FOOL , SAUL WAS A KING WHEN THE GLORY OF GOD DEPARTED HIM AFTER STOLE GOAT, SHEEP FROM AMELEKITE IS YOUR JONATHAN WHO HAS BEEN STEALING OUR MONEY THAT WILL BE LIKE SAUL AND YOU ARE GOING TO SEE MARCH 28 .USELESS IDOT, EMPTY GOAT DOG FIRE FIRE YOU THIS NIGHT.

George and I pray you won't end up like Pheroh..
