| What’s The Worth Of Obasanjo’s Endorsement? by Awesome6s(op): 7:22am On Jul 28, 2022 |
By Fredrick Nwabufo Former President Olusegun Obasanjo used to be a chimera. His influence was mythical, yet sweeping. In the past, Nigeria was too small to contain his stature — as he dominated the horizons across Africa and beyond. He lived up to his legend of being a human Orisa. He is, perhaps, still one of the most respected leaders out of Africa. But Obasanjo’s influence within Nigeria appears to have ebbed over the years. His words seem to have lost lustre and his presence vacant of command. Perhaps, when a masquerade comes out to perform all the time, and sometimes without an invitation, it loses its allure and charm. From 2007 (after he left office) up until 2014, Obasanjo had his wonder and thunder. His position on national matters mattered and was sought after. His missives were denominated ‘’letter bombs’’ for their sheer quality to inflict maximum casualty on the target and sway public opinion. In 2013, former President Goodluck Jonathan suffered ‘’casualty’’ from one of Obasanjo’s missives. Obasanjo wrote an open letter which technically put a nail to the re-election bid of Jonathan. https://www.crispng.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/images-2022-07-28T065711.156.jpeg In the letter titled ‘’Before it is too late’’, Obasanjo accused Jonathan of many malfeasances. He said: ‘’Allegation of keeping over 1000 people on political watch list rather than criminal or security watch list and training snipers and other armed personnel secretly and clandestinely acquiring weapons to match for political purposes like Abacha and training them where Abacha trained his own killers, if it is true, it cannot augur well for the initiator, the government and the people of Nigeria.’’ He also accused Jonathan of cleaving Nigeria apart – along the weak seams of north-south and Christian-Muslim. According to him, Jonathan was favouring and promoting his Ijaw kin to the disadvantage of other Nigerians. Obasanjo’s letter was well-celebrated. It was held up as a definitive and summary verdict on the administration of Jonathan. Obasanjo himself was hailed for his ‘’courage and forthrightness’’, and for his audacity to look power in the eye and spit the truth. But all of that changed after the 2015 elections.

jrusky:Your opinion though and it's your fundamental human right to do so. However, Nigerians have decided that it is peter Obi they want. Tinubu is 86 years old and highly unfit to rule Nigeria. Atiku is equally an Old ancestor too just like Tinubu the grand ancestor and founder of all agberos in Nigeria. Those two men have absolutely nothing to offer Nigeria at all. You all made mistake by voting in the lifeless One we are suffering today, don't make the same same mistake again!! Nigerians are tired of APC and PDP they want someone else from a New party! Get your PVC and join the moving train fast. Be OBIDIENT come 2023!! 2 Likes |

jrusky:Bro, sentiments aside, deep down we all know Peter Obi is the best candidate out there right now. You're free to vote for whom you wish though. But be rest assured that Peter Obi is your next President. Majority of Nigerians are behind him. |

popez:Hahahaha funny you bro. Peter obi is not the best out there infact he has nothing to coninced me he is the best absolutely nothing. And mind you obi is your president not my president. Saying majority of Nigerians are behind him pls where did such propaganda statistics coming from? Mr man wake up. I don't know why you people are so defiants to reality. You know obi can never win single state in SW and the North yet remain defiant? You know he can never snatch River of wike, he can never snatch Anambra from APGA, you know Umahi been the next senate president if apc win can never lost his state to Obi, Uzo of imo will never lost to Labour, Diri in Bayelsa can not drop his state for LP biko where remain? Stop all these useless emotional kid politics face reality and have your peace. I will say it with all boldness no Yoruba state will vote Obi take that to bank. I will say it with all boldness No Northern state will risk given Obi his state take that to bank. I stay in North bro Obi Mikel our super Eagle is more popular here than Obi and Gatti put together. |

Peter Obi was a member of PDP less than two month ago. So are you saying politicians can just switch parties? GudHardDick: |
