ABUJA— FOLLOWING the controversy surrounding the handing over to Vice President Goodluck Jonathan in a constitutional manner by President Umaru Yar’Adua, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday, urged Yar’Adua to tread the path of honour by carrying out what was expected of him. He however did not state what was expected .
Obasanjo who said God should punish him if he picked Yar’Adua as the nation’s President knowing well that he was not going to perform, stressed that as a President who was leaving, it was not going to augur well for the country to have a southern president succeeding him hence the choice of Yar’Adua as the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

According to Obasanjo, “If you take up an appointment, a job, elected, appointed, whatever it is and then your health starts failing and you will not be able to deliver to satisfy yourself and satisfy the people who you are supposed to serve, then there is a path of honour you are supposed to take. There is a path of honour and morality and if you don’t know that then you don’t know anything.”

Obasanjo who was responding to a question on why he gave Nigeria a sick President at the seventh Annual Trust Dialogue explained that prior to the emergence of the ailing president, three qualities were set out for who must be his successor. He gave them as enough intellectual capacity, sufficient personal integrity and enough broad mindedness to manage the affairs of Nigeria and the president had them.

Devil is already punishing him. Is it normal to bang your daughter inlaw?

Just as he has confessed, so shall it be for him.

Ok, i av heard

He seems the punishment he's receiving is mild.
God,turn up the heat!!

That old man should shut his mouth or instead apologize for the whole nation he imposed sick president. In his statement he said Yaradua was away for 6 months while he was serving Kastina as a Governor on medical ground and yet he still picked. Honestly this man should be hanged.

Be it unto you according to your words.
Obasanjo who said "God should punish me if I picked Yar’Adua as the nation’s President."

Did Obj make Yar'adua sick?

amen to the prayer but reverse if otherwise

Who cares whatever God descides to do with him

Still can not understand how Vanguard came about this headline

OBJ did not make the above statement in the headline

In a way, I believe he is not guilty since I do believe the Nigerian people ALLOWED Yar adua become, and stay President. Afterall, we are supposed to have a Democracy.

kawazaki:

[size=18pt]Amen[/size]

Seconded

Obj God has already condemed you.since your pr---ck cant withstand your daughter-in-law :p

maybe now Obj will now get what's coming to him for the roles he played in the current horrible state of Nigeria. Who knows maybe we will be hearing of some not so good news about Obj in near future.

Bleeding Arrow can say that cos God doesn't smite blasphemers dead like in the good ol days.

triple amen,up to your 10th generation

Obj has spoken, and Heaven has answered his prayer

Obasanjo is a thief in broad daylight
He has retired from his stealing escapades
he now comes out to run his mouth
Why didn't he say this in 2007
when Yaradua was elected.

such blasphemy and hypocrisy, How I wish he was making this statement to the council of apostles during the days of acts,
What can I say, his gameplan is now unfolding, Give nigeria a corpse as president and a DOG as vice president, When the corpse is buried, the dog becomes president, And he will be leashed to ota,
See how these senile old men are playing with our future like a game of draught.(draft).

No atom of repentance in OBJ.
For calling Nigerians fools, He will continue to fight for his tattered n chequered reputation. Let him continue to sing!
He will turn to a musician soon for us to hear him
