Obasanjo have only one vote.

Nwaetche:
BAT through his spokesman said that Obasanjo's endorsements are worthless? Yet you & your people went to his house the other day to solicit for his endorsement.

Obj has now endorsed someone else and you suddenly remember that his endorsements are worthless?

Shame!
, ,

Obasanjo's endorsement of any candidate is truly a worthless endeavour. What beats me as you rightly pointed out is why they are all still patronising him and his likes.
Can Obj win his polling unit, Ward and local government for Obi? The answer is NO

mach7:
In my opinion, APC shouldn't have bothered replying OBJ. It only makes his "endorsement" seem somewhat relevant.

To the discerning, his support for Obi has been clear from day one. Amongst the frontline candidates, Obi is the only one that can be controlled or dictated to by OBJ. OBJ's aim is to ensure that his influence which was eroded by Buhari can be restored via Obi. All the talk about supporting someone from Eastern extraction is just a charade.

Asides this, I also perceive that OBJ has a personal animosity for Tinubu. Something akin to envy since the days of when Tinubu was a Governor.

To those saying that Tinubu went to beg OBJ for endorsement, you are spewing rubbish. Tinubu was advised to go see OBJ (being the most prominent Yoruba leader who is an ex-president) and sell his ambition to him, and Tinubu followed that advice.

Following the outcome of the meeting, it became clear that OBJ won't support Tinubu, but he also committed that he wouldn't support Atiku either and for the Tinubu camp, that was OK.

Election is next month, let's see how OBJ's and by extension the so called "Cabal of ex-Gemerals" endorsement helps Obi.

However, I do find it funny when Obi says he want to build a new Nigeria and use the hungry youths as a structure....blah...blah...blah and yet still relies on the same corrupt structure of persons like OBJ to attempt to get into office.

Really funny.

Who is ruling Nigeria now?

Is it still not one of the ex generals

As long as the 1966 class are still alive. They will determine who rules Nigeria

Nigeria that belongs to them

Until they all die

There influence will still be here

Never underate them.

Obasanjo ruled 1999 to 2007

He handed over to the Younger brother of one of them shehu Musa yaradua, Umaru yaradua

Jonathan was just fortunate

Still he lost to one of the ex generals Buhari

Since 1999 they have influenced who rules Nigeria

No political machinery in Nigeria
Is superior to the ex generals

Beedude:

He only visited an elder state man. Tinubu has more followers than OBJ in the SW. With or without OBJ endorsement, Tinubu will win SW and the closest rival in SW will be Atiku

Guy leave that stale fable...He went for endorsement...Even Femi Gbajabiamila Speaker of the House of rep who accompanied Tinubu told pressmen that Obasanjo had secretly endorsed Tinubu which made some of you urchins feel like you have won the world cup when you heard that news!
Hours later,Obasanjo refuted such claims by Femi Gbajabiamila to the disappointment of oga balablu

Obi will drop out latest december, now is January 18, keep deceiving yourself

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

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

Atiku is coming

This spokesman is idiotic tho. His choice of language to a former president is so disrespectful.

Even Tinubu his boss was a governor when obj was president a 2nd time. Tinubu was not even in university when obj was head of state the first time....

Classless ND disrespectful.

Anyways. Atiku for president still

That's not my problem. You haven't been able to explain why the action of a man who has "zero political clout" is making tinubu camp to write long epistle for us to read

I will tell you, it's a Yoruba thing, we tend to ALWAYS defer to the elders to show respect and submission even though we may not always agree with them, but I guess you won't understand because it's foreign to your culture to reverence elders. I'm surprised to see all igbo asking this same question all over here, everyone knows OBJ and Tinubu are not friends right from when Tinubu defied him to create more local government council in Lagos State, we all know what ensured. Obj is just a sour loser because Tinubu still made a success of the bad situation without federal government funding. Obj thinks he will be able to control Peter Obi because he is younger not caring about his ability and failure in Anambra state, he endorsed him for selfish reason and he will cry when Peter Obi loses in February insha Allah.

yes obasanjo is worthless...but how come APC were boasting about him supporting Tinubu last week after a meeting with tinubu?

koyewa ooo

Your answer is right there in the post. It was just for optics. You people just want to always confirm your biases all the time. I won’t even reply you further. Even ordinary Gbenga Daniel has more political clout than Obasanjo in Ogun. Obasanjo cannot give anyone votes, he is a former president that is why anyone even bothers to go visit him to take pictures.

djon78:



But still the only Yoruba man to have ruled Nigeria three good times. So much for feather weight man

What does that have to do with anything? I said Obasanjo has no political clout, being he cant give anybody votes. He became President the first time as a military man because his Boss died. Then as a civilian, he was voted by the North and SS/SE mainly, He lost in Yorubaland. How can a man so unpopular among his own people bring any extra votes for Obi? Or is it from the North or SS/SE that voted him in before he will bring Obi votes? I don’t like engaging in stupid arguments abeg, it’s draining. Unless you like to deceive yourself, my point here is crystal clear. If Obasanjo runs for LG chairman in Ogun today, he will lose woefully.

E pain them. APC as a party is worthless. How about that.

Anyone in APC has a common problem


- you know it

.......opposing progressive political forces.......

Dear Bayo, what's progressive about APC since that what's you've been made to believed while the majority don't see it that way.


Paperweight?

There's no problem with that, since politics as we've come to know it is a game of interest, assuming the Ebora of Owu has endorse your candidate, you would've called him heavyweight, right.

You people said Obi will drop out of the race last December. You have changed to January 18 and last time I checked you are not Obi spokesperson neither are you the Labour party chairman.

Obasanjo has always been an enemy of the south west because he opposed the candidature of MKO Abiola. He also worked against the progress of many Yoruba people in Nigeria so it is coming as no surprise that he is working against Tinubu

seunmsg:
Obasanjo is old and should be tolerated. The harsh tone of the response is unnecessary. Overall, Obasanjo’s endorsement of Peter Obi is a mere academic exercise. It won’t add new voters to the Obi candidacy. Obi will still lose Obasanjo’s polling unit, ward, local government and state. Tinubu will be elected president next month and there is nothing Obasanjo can do about it.
