Asking Atiku to seek Obasenjo's endorsement, is like asking a Sheep to share apartment with a Lion.

tishbite41:
he was pdp bot chairman as at 2011 and he lost his ward to ACN. that was d reason he stepped down as bot chairman

That was PDP vs ACN. Not the individual Olusegun Obasaanjo vs an opponent

You need to understand the game of politics and how it works.

First, its a game of numbers and every politician knows that. N doubt he is a force to reckon with in Nigerian political equation but he is no more than the likes of IBB or even Bubu if and when he leaves office.
He is only accorded his due position as an elderly statesman and nothing more.

As it stands today in South West politics you can't tell me he can command more followership than the Jagaban.
He is only visible today because of his smart move to align with APC when he realized early the looming defeat of the PDP in the last election but watch closely as these politicians behave when the table turns against them.

Speaking to your last paragraph, even Tinubu consulted him before the elections and in his words begged him to be their Navigator. He did not align with them.

Buhari went to Ota to beg him to support his presidential ambition.

When u argue with Jonathan that towed your line of though and got burnt harshly.

That means you did not learn from GEJ's mistake.

OBJ sharp man, the man wen hold naija politics

I will quote you when he does.

He has gone to beg for support before and i am sure he will still go back.

"Buhari-Atiku-GEJ-Obj", what an ennui bred of cack-handed and self serving politicians.

A long walk to freedom indeed if these are the brokers and characters of our political chess board!

I think there are things we really need to know on the fallout between Atiku and his former Boss..I foresee over ambition as the bane of his problem..Learnt Obj raised him up as his vice despite Northern Elites antagonism, yet he grew up to back stab his benefactor ..Military men don't trust a disloyal personality no matter what .

sarrki:
This and many more is why Igbos hates the omoluabis

They have never and will never produced a leader like this

And they would never produce one, no b curse.

Useless old man that destroyed nigeria more than anybody else.

He deserve to be in jail.

vedaxcool:
Someone doesn't want to go to jail

And who is going to send Jonathan to jail? Not a single person. The only man that could have do "akoba and adaba" for Jonathan was Olisa Metuh and Jonathan already gave him 1Billion reasons to stop calling him.

Forget dat talk. Obsanjo lost his ward.

See as the sons and daughters of Ewedu dey masturbate on this thread because GEJ decided to overhype their much-maligned Otta farm brother.

The last time Obasanjo contested an election in this country was in 2003.

l wonder what this thick black man has done to have warranted commendation. He was president for 3 good terms, Lagos-Ilorin Express road still lies in shambles, Toll gate to Abeokuta is a dead trap. Seems GEJ was high on tombo before making that statement.
Hisses and rolls the eye.

The last time Obasanjo contested an election in this country was in 2003. He couldn't have lost an election wherein he wasn't a contestant.

Sir, please read the article. He wasn't commending him at all. He was talking about his political influence, he wasn't praising him for good performance as president. The issue Jonathan was talking about was Obasanjo's political influence and not about his performance in office.

If he Obasanjo was able to make his way to be the first Africa man to be the chairman of World Council of ExPresident, then He is too much jare

1000likes for this statement

BTW lalasticlala,

When will Jonathan grow up to be a man? Is it too much booze or he is actually mentally inadequate?

There is something special about Obasanjo which distinguish him from other elder statesmen in Nigeria. Obasanjo has a national appeal.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY PEOPLE WHY ARE THEY CELEBRATING OBJ BECAUSE HE'S YORUBA AND NEGLECTING THE FACT THAT HE'S THE ONE THAT SHOULD HAVE TURNED THINGS AROUND FOR NIGERIA WHEN HE WAS THERE BUT DID OTHERWISE.

IS THIS NOT WHAT YOU BLAME IGBOS FOR?

BLINDLY PRAISING A CORRUPT INDIVIDUAL BECAUSE HE'S YOUR KINSMAN.

You are absolutely right.

Like him or hate him, OBJ is a force to reckon with. And truthfully, any Nigerian politician who ignores him does so at his own peril, so GEJ is on point.

You may disagree with him on his (non)performance in office, but that is another matter entirely.

Even IBB refers to him as 'emeritus general' and he is one man that has contacts all over Nigeria even though the people from his base (SW) disagree with him a lot.

I can only hazard a guess as to why politicians all over seek him as an ally: perhaps he keeps his promises to his political cronies.

sorri,is nt all afonja but many.even we niger delta hav our foolishness nd mistake but nt all.wat am saying is try educate ur brothas ther mumu don do.nd obj only think about himself nd his northern general brotha.afonyas deserve beta leaders.wise up brothers.

I totally agree with that politics is a game of numbers. OBJ has National popularity while BAT has a regional popularity. Buhari's victory is a very complicated one believe me. APC is a coalition of abt 7 political factions, who has a common political enemy called GEJ. PDP's outcome of the election is as a result of untrusted PDP members who had selfish ambitions. If PDP was better structured, GEJ would have remain as the current president.
Atiku's challenges in his hustle for presidency isn't just OBJ bt the council of ex-military head of state. Well, OBJ is the only outspoken personality of the group. The ex-military still influence the National politics of Nigeria. Atiku, during OBJ's presidency proved to be a political wizard. He was responsible for the stability of the PDP after 1999 victory. The PDP governors then, wanted him to run against OBJ in 2003 bt he still stiod aside for his boss.
The truth is the political event in Nigeria is a very dynamic one. Quite difficult to follow up as political friendship dies and reemerges in different dimensions.
***Personally, I think if anyone is going to straighten up Nigeria the person has to be a repent-culprit. Which Atiku seems to be one, bt the question is how repented is he? Cos it's very obvious now that, an outside of the system can't achieve anything. The system is clogged up.

Hhhhhmmmmm, that's very true. Is OBJ a US Ops man?
It's looking very much likely it. It's no news that Obama disliked GEJ presidency. And coincidentally, OBJ abandoned PDP, wrote several open letters to discredit the sitting president etc.

DON OBJ himself

Pardon my ignorance, is obj d chairman of world ex-presidents.
