The Secretary General of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Mr. Anthony Sani, has reacted to former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s endorsement of former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, saying that Obasanjo is suffering from a dearth of vision and conviction required of a statesman.

Sani, an elder statesman, however noted that with the level of Obasanjo’s inconsistency, he may change his mind again and withdraw his support for Atiku before 2019.

Sani said Obasanjo as a statesman is expected to be an embodiment of national ideals and moral values for the nation, but the way he has conducted himself by tearing his PDP card and saying he would no more play partisan politics and forming a movement which he said is third force only for him to convert it to a political party of ADC, culminating in the endorsement of former Vice President Atiku reeks of inconsistency which comes with a dearth of vision and conviction required of a statesman.



According to the ACF scribe, “it is democracy in action which at once confirms the saying that the only thing that is permanent in politics is interest; no permanent friends or enemies.

“If you consider what the former President has written about his former Vice President Abubakar Atiku to the extent of saying God would not forgive him if he endorsed Atiku for president, then you can hardly avoid the conclusion that common decency is yet to take root in our democracy, especially when regard is paid to the place of the former president in the order of things in Nigeria.

“President Obasanjo is a statesman who is expected to be an embodiment of national ideals and moral values for the nation.

“That may explain why most Nigerians may be curt and dismissive of the former president out of fear that he is just like a reed who can change his mind before the day of elections in 2019.”

Asked whether the North will go with Obasanjo in endorsing Atiku, Sani said: “It is not possible for the whole North to be with former President Obasanjo in that endorsement precisely because the former Vice President is a major challenger of the incumbent President who is also a Northerner and a Hausa/Fulani Muslim.

“As a result, politics of identity as symbolised by ethnicity, religion and of region would give way for those of real issues of real concern to real ordinary Northerners and by extension Nigerians

The support of you and the "US" joined together is very useless to Atikulated Nigerians.

Lmao...they are afraid to come into open and declare they are PDP so they hide under the banner of Yoruba leadership to run party errands. They sold the Yoruba koolaid to Atiku that Afenifere can get him half of Yoruba votes. Why did they not get half of Ypruba votes for PDP in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo, Osun?

They will all be razzmatazzed in February.

Bitterness embittered life..I dnt do politic of bitterness.Somebody should tell that confused ACF secretary to kip qwayet there.Anybody is free to associate with any candidate/polical party he like.Where was the confused man when Pa OBJ shredded his PD pigs membership card and support APC /Pa Buhari?

Sophisticated tribe my foot! Greedy and selfish lots!

One thing Nigerians failed to realise is that contrary to popular opinions that Igbos are very tribalistic, recent events are now show casing who the real tribal people are.

Yorubas are supporting an iddiot Buhari only because they want to become president. Its not out of love for Buhari, the North or Nigeria. You people just want to be in charge so that you can use Nigeria's resources and develop our region massively. But guess what? That will never ever happen! Apologies to reasonable Yoruba people though.

Why I laugh at you guys political permutations is that the hatred of yoruba people for the Igbos is what will divide this country.

Let me tell you why. The Yorubas of course will vote Buhari again not because he is good but only because they hate the idea of an Igbo VP and the idea of Igbos dreaming of presidency. Finally, they also want to become president after Buhari. Lols... I laugh in Northern Agenda.

Newsflash bro.... The Northerners can never allow that!

Even if Bullhary wins the 2019 elections, we Igbos are ready as usual to face him squarely. Are Yorubas ready to endure another hunger for the next for years? Me and you knows who controls importation and business in this country. Do you know the banger? The Northern cabals will never allow Buhari to handover to a Southerner. When APC zones back power to South, all of them will port back to PDP, choose an Igbo vp again and still win the South! The North is already in the bag. Do you expect Igbos and South South to support you guys to be president for 8 years, vp for 4 or 8 years and still watch as you become president again? That can never happen! Quote me anywhere.

Kpatakpata, Tinubu will form another regional party as usual and take you guys back to Oduaa land!

We are wiser now!

Remove Oyedepo from your list, He was there as a mediator. To make peace unlike MURIC and IMN.

Have you ever wondered why the Yoruba's don't give block votes? Detribalization. Get it?
Stop banking on hate speeches to sway people.

If you know Oyedepo and his ministry just 2%, you will know that he is running a billion dollar expenditure that will easily buy him 50 solid private jets should he decide to go for it. The APC lies are fast crumbling.
Oyedepo is just a private individual who reconciled two old friends, Atiku and Obasanjo.
Don't let that affect your thinking much.
