Obasanjo Has Set Agenda for New Nigeria, Say ADP, ACPN
APGA: Ex-president lacks moral justification
The opposition Action Democratic Party (ADP) on Tuesday said Obasanjo was right in his advice to President Muhammadu Buhari not to run for re-election in 2019.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, James Okoroma, said the former president has set the stage for a new Nigeria.
“The damage caused by the Buhari government is enormous and we must endeavour to rebuild our country. The former president made it clear in his statement that the All Progressives Congress (APC) led government is a monumental failure.
“Obasanjo’s description of Buhari as clannish and nepotistic is apt and appropriate. Buhari’s lopsided appointments in favour of his Fulani kinsmen, makes him unworthy of leading other Nigerians. Buhari remains a disappointment to the nation. His lack of capacity, vindictiveness, narrow mindedness and shallow understanding of global politics, make him a bad choice for the future of Nigeria.
“He has thrown the challenge to all Nigerians. He has even volunteered to be part of a coalition for a new Nigeria. This government is evil and must give way. In fact, the day I saw the stomach of a pregnant woman ripped open by Fulani herdsmen in Benue, was the day I knew that God had terminated Buhari’s government spiritually. The physical termination of the life of this government has begun with the new activism championed by Obasanjo.”
On his part, the National Chairman of United Progressives Congress (UPP) Chekwas Okorie, in his reaction, described the special letter as timely, as he noted that the Buhari administration has done enormous danger to the unity of the country than any administration before it.
He said: “The fact remains that Buhari is non-performing, nepotic, sectional and very clueless.
He has put Nigeria in more danger than any president before him. He doesn’t behave like one who fought during the civil war. Nigeria is more divisive under Buhari.’’
Okorie however hoped that the ruling party would field Buhari as its presidential candidate to make the defeat of the party very easy.
“He should be allowed to run. In fact, I am praying that APC should present him in 2019 to make its defeat easy. His not running will make it difficult to defeat APC.”
Also reacting to the special letter, the National Chairman of Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Alhaji Galadima, said: “The advice of Obasanjo to President Buhari not to contest in 2019 is apt and sincere.
“Obasanjo is a former Nigerian president known for his truth and bluntness. He is different from other partisan Nigerian leaders who engages in macabre dance of shame and insincerity. He says his own not minding whose ox is gored.
“He is a patriotic and a detribalised Nigeria and the advice given should be taken in good faith. Whether anybody likes it or not, the health of Buhari is an issue in 2019. The question is this, is he fit enough to be president again in 2019? If I am a family of the president, I will advise him to retire on the ground of his deteriorating health so as to face his health challenge and be useful to his immediate family.
“Due to his Ill-health, president Buhari has been unable to grapple with the challenges of leadership. People have taken the advantage of his health condition to commit political brigandage that has rubbished his reputation while the president couldn’t take action,” he said.
However, the National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Dr. Victor Oye, disagreed with the former president, saying that he is not in best position to advise President Buhari.
Oye said: “That is Obasanjo’s opinion and Nigerians opinions differ. People might have different opinion. What we need now in Nigeria is for us to remove unnecessary tension, even if Buhari is not going to run in 2019 we shouldn’t create unnecessary tension because the man himself knows what to do and he doesn’t need Obasanjo’s letter to take such decision.
“It is Buhari’s entitlement to run for second term but if he is saying he cannot cope he knows what to do. When Obasanjo was president, what did he do? Was he a wonderful leader? Did he tar road in South-east? Enugu to Port-Hacourt road, he didn’t do it. Okigwe to Oga, he didn’t do it, and so on, and he is busy talking about nepotism. Obasanjo does not have moral justification to say such a thing,” Oye stated.
