Desperate To Remain Relevant, Obasanjo Moves Against Pdp by Bankole01(m): 3:57pm On Nov 15, 2007
It is trying times indeed for the maximum ruler cum emperor of Otta Farms.
His fortunes lately have been turning for the worst.
The Supreme sacked his errand boy (president plane money launderer) Andy Uba, as governor of Anambra.
At present count, three other PDP rigged governors and a host of other politicians are being turned back by the various States tribunals. His lady friend and ex-hairdresser turned Speaker of the House, was unceremoneously booted out, after being labeled corrupt and outrageously incompetent!
A new Speaker from Ogun State, was elected by members (mostly PDP) in defiance of Obasanjo and his clique.
It seems the PDP is trying to scheme the Otta non-performer out of his coveted BOT chairman-for-life position.
This will not augur well for the man who wants power at-all-costs. (It will be a 'do-or-die battle to the fishish)

The installed puppet government of Yar'Adua, seems to be growing some balls, refusing to meddle or help out the increasingly frustrated lord of Otta. IBB and other Northern enemies of the Otta toothless bulldog seem to be gaining relevance with inconsequential puppet president.

To rub salt into injury, the crook Jimoh Ibrahim, installed as the Nicon head (by you guesses it, Obasanjo) is about to be shown the door and probably the prison cell where he belongs. The Federal government has just decided to take back the stolen loot of Nicon from the Obasanjo front-man. Jimoh is acting and talking tough, but without the powers of coerscion of the Otta emperor, he is just another Nigerian ex Obasanjo thief, thrown out with the dirty water!


Not to worry though, Adedibu is still running Oyo State to the Otta lord of chickens delight. He can kill, burn,and cause chaos as he chooses. Akala the figure-head governor dare not say a word.
If all else fails, Maurice Iwu is still the INEC chairman. The man who supervised the worst Nigerian elections ever, could still called upon to do his magic. The man latelt has been using new terms like, 'party democracy, law of the land etc.
It seems the INEC chief is not happy with PDP comgresses and ward elections, because they did not inform him and INEC. He has not been given the mandated 21 day notices. There the sceduled part convention planned for DEC 8 is to be cancelled. All these, more than 60 days before the planned convention and hierchy elections is to take place in Abuja.

Who is fooling whom? Maurice Iwu, the man who shamelessly conducted the worst election in African history and rigged people in with abandon, now wants to rest on legalistics? Why is he still the INEC chairman?
Is Obasanjo so desperate, grasping at straws and out of weapons that he has to resort to using the spent Iwu to come out and try to fool us again? This time around trying to sound like a reformed democrat!

Enough is enough Obasanjo. "GO GENTLY INTO THY NIGHT" Try to sleep if the ghosts of the innocent and murdered Nigerians will let you lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While former President Olusegun Obasanjo held sway in the Aso Rock seat of power, it was not a secret that many Nigerians were not pleased with his style of leadership. There were discontentment and complaints in various quarters which invariably led to crises in various parts of the country. Obasanjo implemented various economic reforms that did not yield any meaningful dividend till he bowed out of office last May.

It was therefore a surprise to many when Obasanjo recently said that Africa’s developmental challenges and insecurity issues are direct results of bad governance.

He chose the headquarters of the United Nations in Geneva to make the assertion at a seminar for current special and personal representatives and envoys of the UN Secretary General,

Observers are surprised that Obasanjo is making a turn around barely four months after he left office and his administration rated as one of the worst the nation has experienced in its history.

Comment: Obasanjo is in need of prayers or a good doctor (not honorary please) the old Otta dictator is loosinng his mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The downfall of a once powerful ruler is a cautionary tale for those who seek power at all costs, as their actions will eventually catch up with them.
