I have been observing with keen interest from the sides as Nigerian politics evolves from winning elections through lobbying the electorate to rig elections through thuggery, violence and vote-buying. In all this evolution, some key political holders have remained at the center stage with the African mentality of "sit-tight syndrome” while assuming that Nigeria and its citizens suffer collective amnesia.
Former President Obasanjo is one of the political actors that have refused to leave the stage even after Nigerians have bid him farewell. He has refused to come to reality to the simple fact that his unconstructive letter writings against sitting presidents to make them unpopular have gone out of fashion in the present-day information age.
However, there is an adage that says those who come to equity must come with clean hands.
When debating political impunity and recklessness, no Nigerian leader comes near the records set by former President Obasanjo since Nigeria got her independence. Obasanjo is the only president in Nigeria’s history that muscles the legislative arm of government and topples its leadership at will just to satisfy his selfish desires. From, Evans Ewerem, toChiubaOkadibo, and Later, Anyim Pius Anyim to mention few.
It remains on record that President Obasanjo for ordinary disagreement removed Ayo FayoseandJoshua Dariyeas a sitting governors of EkitiandPlateau States respectively. It even came to a point that Obasanjo was changing the People's Democratic Party (PDP) party chairmen like he was changing his underwear. From Ahmadu Ali to AuduOgbe to Barnabbas Germade, to Vincent Ogbulafor among others. He ran his administration like a Private Liability Company (PLC) in "a one-man show" without regard to rule of law.
Under the stewardship of Obasanjo, orders were issued to wipe out an entire village of Zakibiam in Ukum LGA of Benue State on the excuse that the locals killed two soldiers. No life was speared in that town including women and children who were killed in their hundreds. Yet, Obasanjo is still walking the street like a saint.
Have we also forgotten the massacre in Odi community in present-day Bayelsa State where infractions between highhanded soldiers and the host community led to the death of a soldier and Obasanjo reacted by ordering the extermination of the whole community? Those speared were only the ones who were lucky to be out of the community on that faithful day. Women and children perished in their hundreds, and Bayelsa remembers.
In an attempt to gain pardon from the Bayelsa people for his atrocities against them, Obasanjo supported their son, President Goodluck Jonathan first as vice president to Late President Yaradua then later as president. However, in his usual quest for wanting to manipulate Jonathan, he fell out with Jonathan when he couldn't dictate to the administration. In his usual tactics, he resorted to writing an open letter against President Jonathan.
Obasanjo all his life wanted only one thing "power" and continuous power to perpetuate himself therein, and that was what motivated his agenda for a third term. If the international Criminal Court (ICC) were to be serious, Obasanjo should have faced war crimes like Charles Taylor, of Liberia his purported friend whom he betrayed (that is topic is for another day).
If Obasanjo means well for the nation, he will be presenting his concerns at the Council of State meeting, because he is a member with opportunity for better audience. He should grow up and stop playing to the gallery through his outdated letters because the whole world is looking at him dancing a macabre dance shrouded in shamelessness.

So this old man has refused to let every government be on its own. Anyway, maybe him way.

He is still better than Buhari
