The Peoples Democratic Party has described the
counsel by former President Olusegun Obasanjo that
President Muhammadu Buhari should not run for
second term in 2019 as courageous, timeous and
Olusola Fabiyi, Abuja
patriotic.
It added that the advice had vindicated its position on
President Buhari and the All Progressives Congress.
The party however rejected the call by Obasanjo for
the emergence of a third force, saying that such
would amount to repeating the same alleged blunder
that it claimed brought in what it described as the
“ideologically vacuous APC and the Buhari
Presidency” which it said had wrecked havoc on the
nation in its almost three years of governance.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan,
in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday, said the fact that
President
Buhari and the APC have irredeemably
failed the nation was obvious to all, adding that
Nigerians have already taken an irrevocable position
against them ahead of the 2019 elections.
According to Ologbondiyan, Obasanjo’s counsel had
rekindled the fate of the people in the democratic
process, stressing however that the solution “does
not lie in creating another political quicksand in a third
force
but consolidating on a rescue mission with the
repositioned PDP which Nigerians have already
embraced.”
He said Nigerians would recall that in the heat of
2015 elections, many citizens, who claimed to have
become tired of the PDP and its government, opted
for a coalition of strange bedfellows who he said had
little or no experience in governance as a vehicle for
electoral victory.
He said, “Expectedly, in their confusion, they have
plunged us into this regrettable situation that has
brought our nation to its knees.
“PDP maintained that repeating the old mistake of
congregating political strangers cannot help our nation
at this
time, more so, when the few concerns raised
by the former President about the PDP no longer
obtain under the refocused and rebranded PDP.
“The PDP is now standing on a truly democratic
ground that perfectly represents and reflects the
hopes and aspirations of all Nigerians
irrespective of their class, creed or tribe.
“That is why our great party has now, more than
ever before, become a centre of the new patriotic
and broad-based engagements by well-meaning
Nigerians and coalitions across the board, including
past leaders, in rekindling our democratic process that
places priority on returning power to the people.
“The fact is that Nigerians overrated President Buhari
in 2015 but they have now seen that he never
possessed the capacity and the required aptitude to
effectively govern our great nation and pilot a
healthy economy.
“This accounts for the reason former President
Obasanjo, just like most Nigerians today, are
concerned about the quality of presidential candidates
to
be presented by various parties for the 2019
election.
“The fact is that while the APC is already caught up
with President Buhari, the PDP is open for a new
engagement that will throw up the President, which
our nation truly deserves at this crucial moment.”

The ideal thing in life is for one to repeat a class that he or she failed. Dr Obasanjo would have been more patriotic by supporting Buhari to repeat in 2019 since he failed.
Lets us all show patriotism by forcing him to repeat in 2019!
