Governors Were Using Me To Seek 3rd term For Themselves - Olusegun Obasanjo

After several denials of seeking a third term in office, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has accused governors of also seeking third term, IGBERETV reports.

Speaking during an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the former president blamed some governors as the ones behind the third term agenda.

β€œThe governors, some of them, were doing it for themselves. Because if the president did a third term, they too would have had a chance for a third term,” Obasanjo said while responding to question on his failed third term bid.


In 2006, a bill to amend the 1999 constitution and extend term limits by another four years, failed to pass at the National Assembly.

Ken Nnamani, the Senate President of the 5th National Assembly had declared that lawmakers in the 5th National Assembly, β€œsacrificed” their legislative careers after seeing to the truncation of the controversial third term bid.

Story, story ... Obasanjo is always the angel and others demons. cheesy cheesy

This is something every adult Nigerian at the time witnessed and detested. Many legislators on PDP platform didn't return to NASS as a result of stopping Obasanjo and his foot soldiers. Obasanjo denied them ticket for killing his selfish ambition.

Obasanjo is the best leader Nigeria ever had. One thing I like about him is that whatever he says are always facts. Note, I'm not talking about his opinion, which is quite different from facts.

I notice he doesn't lie. Instead of lying, baba will rather remain silent if the fact doesn't favour him.

Arrogance? That is just a perception which can't be proved.
Corruption? Can you show us factual evidence of his corrupt practices as a president?

How?

He is an elderly statesman who is entitled to his opinion. The fact his opinion doesn't favour you doesn't make him a problem to Nigeria.

In his administration, Nigeria got debt relief which we still enjoy till date. (Paris Fund)

The trust we have in the banking industry today can be credited to him. (Bank Recapitalisation)

Baba introduced EFCC.

Baba introduced Civil Defence into our security system. At least that has created employment.

These are just few of his achievements.

Name any other administration with such achievements.

One thing I never like about this man is his inability to accept responsibility for a wrong, whereas he and his ilks are the reasons for all that's happening in Nigeria till tomorrow. They introduced election fraud, wanton embezzlement, irresponsible NASS-ing, political killings...name it. The only thing he did of note was allowing investors into the telecoms sector. What else do we remember him for? He still holds the record for the government to oversee the biggest decrease in value of the naira to the dollar at nearly 600%. Ask him why he refused Nigeria's biggest economy by state allocation for months, and I'm so sure he'd blame someone else.

Lamba..

Na reason why you deployed Ogun state IGP 2 days before the election which the deployment was mandatory by road after promising Osoba to vote for your reelection.

Why are you also so bitter about Atiku if not that he stopped your 3rd time agenda.

Eish

Is two things.....maybe you weren't born when obJ was the president or you were still a toddler.

OBJ overall is still the worst civilian president we ever had......A man who never forgives anyone he feels offend him.

Do you know how many govs he impeached??
Do you know how Nigeria elections were under him??
Do you know how no one dare criticise him ??

He see himself as alfa and omega of Nigeria........he has to be whatever he wants or nothing else.

Every other person is bad ......he is the only one good.

Nigeria was just coming out of long military rule when he came in as a civilian president in 1999 and he still continued the military rule wearing alagbada.

The useless 1999 constitution ruining us till today who brought it in??

Definitely the most disappointing. So much was expected, very little was delivered other than further decay of politicians integrity all over Nigeria starting from him.

His 3rd term agenda was a failed project. He attempted to mess up our democracy via the legislature.

I'm a huge fan of his but he should own up to his flaws and mistakes. This attempt to change history is ridiculous and will make people lose their respect for him.
