Maybe he is afraid of his daughter replying him, as she did when the ingrate of a father wrote his useless letter to Jonathan, the candidate for the party that rehabilitated him and made him president after his narrow escape from Abacha’s prison death squad.

Iyabo Obasanjo writes father, says: ‘Dear Daddy, you don’t own Nigeria

December 18, 2013

In what is turning out to be a season of open letters, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Iyabo, has ruled out further communication with her father till death, describing him as a liar, manipulator, two-faced hypocrite determined to foist on President Goodluck Jonathan what no one would contemplate with him as president.

Senator Iyabo Obasanjo in a letter to her father accused him of having an egoistic craving for power and living a life where only men of low esteem and intellect thrive.

In the 11-page letter dated December 16, 2013 exclusively obtained by Vanguard, Iyabo accused her father of orchestrating a third term for himself as president, cruelty to family members, abandonment of children and grandchildren, and also, a legendary reputation of maltreatment of women.

Iyabo who forswore further political engagements in Nigeria denied any political motive for her missive, and described Nigeria as a country where her father and his ilk have helped to create a situation where smart, capable people bend down to imbeciles to survive. She particularly noted her experience as chairman of the Senate Committee on Health when she led the committee on a retreat appropriated for in the budget only for her to be prosecuted for it.

Iyabo, first child of the former president, started the letter titled, Open Letter to my Father with a 4th century Chinese proverb by Mencius which states: “The great man is he who does not lose his child’s heart.”

Her letter:

“It brings me no joy to have to write this but since you started this trend of open letters I thought I would follow suit since you don’t listen to anyone anyway. The only way to reach you may be to make the public aware of some things. As a child well brought up by my long-suffering mother in Yoruba tradition, I have been reluctant to tell the truth about you but as it seems you still continue to delude yourself about the kind of person you are and I think for posterity’s sake it is time to set the records straight.

This old fool that ran out quick together with Tanko Yakassai to counter Anyaoku against rewriting his cesspit constitution knowing fully well that there lies the problem of his cesspit. Anyaoku foolishly and quietly went quiet. Well, Simon Ekpa is here to end this useless cesspit. IT IS ON RECORD THAT ONLY THE SOUTH EASTERNERS WANT A NEW CONSTITUTION TO REMEDY THE COUNTRY, BUT THOSE IN THE SOUTH WEST AND THE NORTH WANT THEIR CONSTITUTION TO REMAIN SAME, YET THEY WANT BIAFRANS TO REMAIN IN THE SAME COUNTRY WITH THEM. NEVER.

Imagine this old fool together with another northern old fool called Tanko Yakassai refusing Anyaoku to propagate the rewriting of his cesspit constitution which is where 100% of their cesspit problem lies, yet he will come out often to talk rubbish to confuse the naive and gullible fools, especially the ignorant useful idiot Igbos that are still planning to assist them to legitimize their cesspit through their 2027 PVC idiocy.




Constitution, tenure not Nigeria’s problems – Tanko Yakasai backs Obasanjo.


An elder statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, has backed former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s assertion that the Constitution and tenure of office[b] is not Nigeria’s problems[/b].

Yakasai said Nigeria’s problems lies with those operating the country’s Constitution.

The former Special Adviser to ex-President Shehu Shagari on National Assembly Matters was reacting to a call by The Patriots, led by Chief Emeka Anyaoku, who recently called for a new Constitution during a visit to President Bola Tinubu.

In a statement he issued on Wednesday, Yakasai said even the best Constitution would fail without a change of mindset and conduct by the country’s leaders.

He said: “As a founding member of this esteemed group and an elder statesman committed to the well-being of our nation, I must express my reservations about both the process and the content of the submission made during this visit.

“First, it is regrettable that due process was not followed in articulating the views that were presented to the president. A matter of such national importance requires thorough consultation, inclusive deliberation and the consensus of all founding members.

“The exclusion of key voices, particularly in a group like The Patriots, undermines the credibility and unity of our mission. It is essential that our decisions and representations are rooted in collective wisdom and not rushed or unilateral actions.

“Second, I align with the views expressed by President Olusegun Obasanjo that the core problem facing Nigeria is not necessarily the constitution or the tenure of office. The crux of our challenges lies in the attitude and character of those who operate the constitution.”

You are a big part of the problem. You created payment of constituency allowance which consumes lots of money that should be in the budget. Now no one has the gut to put end to that thievery, not even the retired solder so called Mai Gaskiya. Nigeria generated unprecedented amount of revenue from oil under your regime but what do we have to show for it other than fleets of expensive cars at many of your party members houses? .

Re: I Believe God Didn’t Create Nigeria To Struggle - Obasanjo by seunayantokun(m):
I believe God didn't create Nigeria.
Obasanjo is the only person I know who believes that God made Nigeria. And honestly, he remains the best and most faithful President Nigeria has ever had.
You see, God made our planet, and later He made different peoples. Some of them He placed in this part of it - over 250 ethnicities who some colonisers used as raw materials to create something they called Nigeria - after a river they refused to identify with its local name. Niger? Where was that name from? They were forced to relinquish it but not until the unsuspecting ethnicities had been made to negotiate their freedom according to the strangers' terms. No freedom got on a platter of negotiation has ever been successful.

The peoples' destinies were totally hijacked and smashed on an anvil by the rogues who introduced a unitary system of government in a satanic bid to lord it over others. Aguiyi Ironsi introduced it, and other military leaders i.e, Gowon, Murtala, Obasanjo, Babangida, Abacha, and, Buhari - being the most devilish of them all - perpetuated it.
If we don't go back to reflect what God made us at the beginning, it will remain a total fiasco that it is.
Re: I Believe God Didn’t Create Nigeria To Struggle - Obasanjo by Uchek(m): 3:59am On Oct 14, 2024
Totally agreed

MadPolitician:
This man has been desperately trying to burnish his dilapidated image recently. This man has been part and parcel of every evil that happened in this country. Was part of Murtalas coup, was part of a stupid war, supported the military come back in the 80s that truncated the democratic government then, supported the cancellation of June 12, before fighting Abacha over personal reasons.

Became the president in 1999 and started the whole proces of relegating the legislature to the background, while enthroning corruption. Obasanjo started this dubious practice of combining the office of the Petroleum ministry with that of the presidency. It is no surprise that Buhari and Tinubu, another two corrupt presidents have followed suit. Obasanjo should leave Nigerians alone. He is part and parcel of the mess this country has found herself in. Ruled Nigeria for over ten years and he is still pointing fingers?

If Nigeria is to ensure judicious redistribution of country's wealth we the masses could enjoy very cheap if not free petrol. But due to grave injustice we are made to buy it as if it's not produce here in the country.

7. Even though there is going to be Electronic Collations and Electronic Transmissions (Section 38), there should also be Manual Collations and Manual Transmissions (Section 48) . The Electronically Collated Results would be used to check and verify the manually collated results before they are announced. (Section 51)[b][/b]
Thus, the Electronically Collated Results and the Electronically Transmitted Results from each levels of the electoral process, both voting and collation, as well as all the data that are contained inside the BVAS Device, are all going to be playing very important roles in the final results that are declared by the INEC, from now going forward.

Obasanjo, things were also bad during your regime as Nigeria president to the point that kwam1 and Barrister made a record in your name.

You are also a bad leader. Just that gullible Nigerians forget things so easily.

Olorun a gba wa lowo gbogbo yin lojo kan.
God bless you. The problem is that people forget easily.

Things were equally so bad during Obasanjo's tenure. The masses groaned and complained. Baba still wanted to use 3terms.
Now he is giving unsolicited advices up and down. As if he is better
