A Serving Senator, Ali Wakili has weighed in Ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo's letter to President Muhammadu Buhari criticizing his performance in governing Nigeria.

Wakili believes that the letter is not powerful enough to weaken President Buhari's support base for the 2019 Elections. Wakili, a retired customs officer and chairman of the Senate committee on poverty alleviation, made this statement on Thursday.

He disclosed that no one could change the mind of Northerners on Buhari;

"Unfortunately for him, he cannot change the minds of average northerners on President Buhari.There is no candidate in the North that can defeat Buhari. He (Obasanjo) can only whittle down a little bit of his support base,"

Wakili opined that Obasanjo should have contacted Buhari in private about the issues he highlighted in the controversial 13-page letter, adding that the president's second term bid should be left to the masses.

2019 election is a test to the SW.

buhari cannot win without the SW vote.

So will the SW listen to their elder states man OBJ and vote out an established retaŕd? Or

Will they prove that they are truly slaves to the north as the Igbos call them?

Only time will tell...

Voting Buhari does not make anyone slave to the north afterall u are likely to vote for a northern PDP candidate...

ok. I see. I am not in support of any president. but OBJ is now an elder statesman because he spoke in line with your ideology, but 4 years ago when he wrote similar letter to GEJ, you lots were attacking his person instead of the message. unless each and everyone of us in both side of the divide shun hypocrisy and sycophancy, even if we vote out buhari. we will still vote another useless person.

May Obasanjo Never Write me a letter.

I'm not a fan of OBJ but one of my prayer points has always been that may Obasanjo never write me a letter.
Obasanjo may have done exact or more evil than whoever he's writing to admonish but while OBJ always escape repercussions, whoever he writes to admonish are not always lucky.

OBJ's involvement in any issue signifies the imminent end of that issue.

First he wrote to Shagari when the latter was soaked in mismanagement of the economy few months later the military smashed Shagari government in 1995.

he then wrote to Abacha and described him as a stone age dictator, the letter landed him in trouble, He was almost killed. But after his death sentence was converted into prison terms, he wrote another letter to Abacha titled NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT, Where he said, "I was a head of state yesterday, today, I'm in jail. You're the head of state today, tomorrow, your condition may be worse than mine...".
Indeed, Abacha's future was worse as he ended inside the grave!!!

OBJ didn't write himself while in power but instead wrote his deputy, Atiku Abubakar. Atiku has become a shadow of his pre-1999 self since then.

It wasn't clear whether he wrote Yaradua, a terminally ill former Kastina governor he imposed on Nigeria....but he came out publicly and asked him to resign!!!

He also didn't spare GEJ he wrote him in a letter titled BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, But it was actually late before the letter was written. Jonathan, today, has become a sorrowful history.

His latest letter to Buhari is no joke,
Take it or not, Buhari needs absolute care else the letter becomes his political abattoir

Beg Obasanjo for me whenever you see him, may he never write me a letter.
Copied!!!

I agree with Sen. Wakili,because an average northerner sees Pres. Buhari as an ideology couple with the Buhari revolution in the agric sector which is to their natural advantage. And for the SW they will certainly stand with Osubanjo since even from Obasonjo's days in PDP they had always gone their way of the AC and later ACN party as against Obasonjo PDP. Most elective political elite,like gov.senators, honourable members,former gov/ministers are still intact in APC unlike during Pres. Goodluck time when most of them had decamped even before Obasonjo's letter to Jonathan.

The vote of northerners alone cannot win PMB the election. He may get majority of the votes if the north stick with him but definitely not a quarter in two third of the states in the country. I think southerners have enough awareness to vote wisely this time around.

SW don't listen to no elder nor are they stooge of the North. They are enlighten voters if PMB change today from begin clanish leader improve the economy condem his Fulani marauders I can bet it SW will vote for PMB if not he will not get 5 percent of their votes.

While SW will not return PMB he will get the 5 states in the East becos igbo cant stand begin in opposition remember Azikwe and Tafawa Balewa 1960, Ekuweme and shagari 1979
With the hand writing on the wall Benue Taraba Adamawa may not vote PMB with his Fulani kiiller

Is it not surprising that this same OBJ that was severally seen on TV having unfettered access to Buha and both were always laughing hysterically as though they were mocking Nigerians.

Wonder what could have gone amiss. I believe he could have used that same channel to communicate his grievances rather resort to the usual way of trying to play the best man in Nigeria when he is definitely not.

I didn't recall him trying this mess with Abacha. He capitalises on the closeness and weakness to unleash this type of attacks.

Obj should let Nigeria be, when he was in power our electricity was not fixed, our roads were not fixed, and all the other problems.

In my opinion this obj needed a man like Abacha to put him in check. During his tenure nobody wrote him letter to tarnish him so why then does he do this type of thing to others.

Actually the Senator is right to have said that noone will change the Northerners mind on Buhari. Aside that, the North has the population base to upturn any political contest and the North has found an admirer in the South West who r bent on maintaining their VP position, key Ministerial positions and key appointments at the expense of the killings and economic hardship Nigerians r facing daily.The only solution is for the rest zones to threaten d unity of the country and some reasonable Northerners will do away with Buhari to preserve the unity and enjoy the benefits in the country.
