Bayo Onanuga: Obasanjo's Endorsement Of Mr. Peter Obi Is Worthless by Oluwabash(m): 6:33pm On Jan 01, 2023
We read with amusement the endorsement of Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party Presidential Candidate by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in his New Year message on Sunday.

Following calls by journalists from various media houses who asked for our reaction we decided to make this preliminary statement, though we didn't consider the so-called endorsement to be of any value.

We respect the democratic right of former President Obasanjo to support and endorse any candidate of his choice in any election.

Except that he made it known formally in his new year message, any discerning political watcher in Nigeria knows that Chief Obasanjo’s preference for Peter Obi is expected. He had earlier stated his position at various public events, the last being at the 70th birthday anniversary of Chief John Nwodo, former President of Ohaneze Ndigbo in Enugu.

We make bold to say that our party and candidate, Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not lose sleep over Obasanjo’s move, as Obasanjo is notorious for always opposing progressive political forces, as he did against MKO Abiola in 1993.

The endorsement is actually worthless because the former President does not possess any political goodwill or leverage anywhere in Nigeria to make anyone win a Councillorship election let alone win a Presidential election. He is a political paperweight.

He is also not a democrat anyone should be proud to be associated with.

We recall that in 2003 and 2007 general elections when he was a sitting President, Obasanjo used all the coercive instruments of State at his disposal to railroad people into elective offices against the will of Nigerians as expressed at the polls. In 2007, he declared the polls a do or die affair after he failed in his bid to amend our constitution to have a third term.

From our records, President Obasanjo has not successfully made anyone win election in Nigeria since then.

Not even in Ogun State can anyone rely on his support or endorsement to become a governor or Councillor.

We pity Peter Gregory Obi as we are confident that Chief Obasanjo can not win his polling unit and ward in Abeokuta for Obi in the coming Presidential election on 25 February, 2023.

Chief Obasanjo's endorsement is not a political currency Mr. Peter Obi can spend anywhere in Nigeria because he is not a political force, even in his part of the country.

Chief Obasanjo similarly endorsed Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party candidate in 2019 against President Muhammadu Buhari. Atiku was walloped by Buhari with a wide margin in the election.

History will repeat itself in February as our candidate Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu will equally beat Obi by a large margin.

We take a particular notice of the part of the endorsement statement where Chief Obasanjo said none of the presidential candidates is a Saint.

We want to state here that Chief Obasanjo is not a good judge of character. He is a man who considers only himself as the all-knowing Saint in Nigeria.

Over the years, Chief Obasanjo has also convinced himself that integrity, honesty and all good virtues begin and end with him.

That's a fact, another angle Obansanjo is deceiving Obi so as yaruba to win, but that's dead on arrival grin grin

Even Obasanjo will eventually support his oga Atiku, the man that made him president, same as Obi, Atiku is their oga.

Obi will drop out of the race latest January 18

You keep crying all over because of Obi; you may collapse at this stage; try to calm down..Now sit back and relax, and watch them tell you how Obasanjo is no longer influential, how he cannot determine anything… blah blah blah...see wetin baba talk "One other important point to make about Peter Obi is that he is a needle with thread attached to it from North and South and he may not get lost". In other words, he has people who can pull his ears, if and when necessary. Agbado urchins keep crying useless set of people.

Worthless indeed

Asin, nothing could be more worthless than this endorsement.

He endorsed Buhari in 2015
He endorsed Atiku in 2019
Now he's endorsing Pandora Greengory in 2023.

When Pandora loses in 2023, who will President Obasanjo endorse in 2027 if we're still alive?

The same BAT relegated PDP to the dustbin,...he rendered powerless the gripping hands of OBJ government by creating several revenue sources. OBJ wey be thief and he is no hero to decide who becomes what. We still remember how he turned government owned properties to private properties. Boko-haram started from his regime because of the way he mal-handle issues pertaining to that, we cannot forget how he ordered soldiers to wipe out entire community. He is no saint and all way he claims to have today are stolen from government treasury.
