Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has condemned the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, for saying ’emi lokan’.

Tinubu, in the buildup to the APC presidential primary election, had claimed that he was the next person to become the President of Nigeria, saying, “It is my turn.”

In a letter on Sunday, Obasanjo said: “Let me say straight away that ‘Emi Lokan’ (My turn) and ‘I have paid my dues’ are one and the same thing and are wrong attitude and mentality for the leadership of Nigeria now.”

Those claims, according to Obasanjo, “cannot form the new pedestal to reinvent and to invest in a new Nigeria based on an All-Nigeria Government for the liberation and restoration of Nigeria.”

Obasanjo said no individual can claim he has the absolute solutions to Nigeria’s problems, stating that “the solution should be in ‘we’ and ‘us’ and not in ‘me’ and ‘I’.”

AntiTerrorist:
Does the word emilokan makes sense to you? How is it Tinubu's turn out of 250m nigerians? Can you employ someone like Thiefnubuu to manage your business?

Moh247:
All this questions and many more would be answered by February 25

Why not answer them now? What is the name Tinubu's primary and secondary schools? Who were his classmates?

Wow, you still don't see it.
You can't see what OBJ is doing.
You clearly didn't read the letter.
The letter is a confirmation of Obi's presidency.
OBJ is telling you why the cabal chose Obi.
But you think OBJ is angry.

Moh247:
Obj endorsed Atiku in 2019 how did it end?!

This isn't 2007 where he rigged Yaradua, or 2011 where he forced Jonathan

ganisucks:
How many times will I explain this to you. OBJ fooled Atiku into putting Obi as his vice. That was the plan for 2023. OBJ never really endorsed Atiku. How would OBJ in all honesty endorse someone like Atiku.

The positive interpretation is that President Buhari would ensure next year’s presidential election is free and fair, a point he has, indeed, made. But the negative interpretation is that he doesn’t care about the integrity, character and honesty of who succeeds him.

That negative interpretation is my concern here, and it’s premised on Buhari’s support for the election of Bola Tinubu as Nigeria’s next president. It concerns me because I’m fully convinced that a Tinubu presidency would not only destabilise Nigeria internally, it would damage Nigeria globally, making it a big laughing stock, a butt of dark international jokes!

Truth is, next year’s presidential election will have huge long-term implications, its outcome will affect Nigeria for decades. Therefore, no patriotic Nigerian should sit on the fence; that patriotism is what underpins this intervention. To be sure, the presidential election should be as much about character as manifesto.

The presidency is too serious an office to be invested in someone with serious integrity deficit. Those ignoring character and integrity should remember the Turkish proverb: “When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king. The palace becomes a circus.”

But here are questions for President Buhari: Is he aware of the damaging allegations swirling around Tinubu? Given what he knows, does he think Tinubu is a fit and proper person to be Nigeria’s president? Is he happy that Tinubu’s life, pedigree and backstory are veiled in secrecy or, as someone puts it, a “miasma of dubiety”?

In the US, every major presidential candidate is an open book. But not Tinubu. He arrogantly refuses to answer uncomfortable questions about his past. Instead, he uses surrogates: Festus Keyamo, Femi Fani-Kayode, Bayo Onanuga.

Who see him as their route to advancement and are blatantly lying to Nigerians, treating them as morons. Recently, they came full throttle with deliberate untruths about the drug allegations against Tinubu.

StrongandMighty:
This is a situation of yoruba Christains against yoruba muslims, this shows that yoruba Christains have outrightly rejected tinubu!

I'm still wondering how agbado will win southwest, it's getting practically impossible as the election draws near!

Moh247:
You really hype Obj and this is very funny

I can put a bet down not only would Tinubu win Ota Baba's residence, Tinubu would win Ibogun Obasanjo's village and win Ogun with a wide margin

Obasanjo is an expired milk in modern Politics,
