Before the infamous acrimony with Atiku, Obasanjo deligated a lot of responsibilty to the office of the VP, thats where Atiku laid his hands on PTDF funds among other things, even in the heat of the quarel, Obj played all forms of tricks but never subcumverted the law nor constitution. He did things like declaring an emergency public holiday on a day a court judgement was to be heard, but when Atiku defeated him in court, he had no option but to put his name on the ballot papers, yet he was not shouting "rule of law" as this mallam is shouting. Case after case Atiku won and Obj grudgely did the bidding of the courts.
Yar dua has a great distain for his VP, this is not the first time he is not handing over to Goodluck, just that this is the most obvious.

Compared to Yar dua, Obasanjo should be called Angel Obasanjo.

Under Obasanjo Bayo Ojo was neither inimidating nor bribing Judges as Aondoakaa was doing under Yar'adua.

If you want to defend someone, do it based on their achievements. Bitter Kola doesn't lose its bitterness because urine tastes worse.

Interesting to read this kinda stuff

^^^ Yeah

Lets face it, Obj did not degrade Atiku to d extent that ministers began to sneer him. Now, The Vice Precident of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria now the Acting Precident of same country, heard that the Precident of the country was flying in, the same way "small me" (without any portfolio) heard on the news.

Mind you, he has not yet set eyes on him o, instead he has an appointment with the Wife of the precident (enough of this title "First Lady" sef.

Now, tell me where in the constitution the office of the first lady has a portfolio and even a physical office?

She did not even have the courtesy of calling Jonathan to say they were coming in.

I dont know if you read the report of the arrival and observed what I observed, the airport light went off when there were still airborne, that implies that the directive did not come from the air, coz they could not have communicated with their allies on the ground, meaning someone or somepeople in the country knew he was coming and made arrangements, put off the airport lights, while the VP was probably sleeping.

Obj for non do like this at least, ah, d guy non de pretend, e go tell u ho ha!!!!

. . . Guide our leaders right
Help our youths the truth to know,

Obasanjo not only intimidated Atiku. He withdrawn securities attached to him. He wasn,t allowed to use presidential plane. He had to travelled with chartered plan. Infact nobody respected him at the FEC level. Haba. If not for this man's illness, Yaradua is not a bad person I beg. What happen between Obasanjo and Atiku then was a power tussle.

What did he do when he was relatively healthy? I bet the illness also affected his sense of reasoning when he took the following decisions: appointment of Dora as Minsister of Information as opposed to a portfolio more befitting of her more obvious skills, refusal to remove Aoondoaka and Iwu but replacement of Ribadu, delay in fully implementing Uwais report because he was not happy with taking the power to appoint head of INEC from the presidency, creation of Ministry of Niger Delta as a means of "solving" the "Niger Delta problem", no visible progress in any of the seven point agenda. Who is the current Minister of Education and what is his back ground? Don't worry, you guys keep arguing whether cancer is worse than aids. That is how we get actually competent leaders, right?

Let someone throw your mother off a balcony for a song, we'll electing him, you will die, and we will make a thread about how 'not-that-bad' he was. He will loot your country of billions while people die because of an un-tarred roads.


The stuff people, sorry, Niger areans will put with.
