Jonathan afraid of being jailed by Buhari if he loses – Obasanjo

By Daud Olatunji, Abeokuta
Former President has unleashed another attacks on President Goodluck Jonathan, acussing him of playing politics of do-or-die like President of Côte d’Ivoire, Laurent Gbagbo and that Jonathan is afraid of being jailed by Buhari if he loses.

Obasanjo said this on Saturday at his hiltop mansion in Abeokuta while speaking with newsmen shortly after he came back to the country from his overseas trips.

Obasanjo while reacting to the postponement of the election said, the postponement of the election was a grand plan by Jonathan and his cronies to perpetuate office till the situation becomes clear that the election would favour him.

He acussed Jonathan of playing a brand of politics played by President Gbagbo who he said had delayed the presidential election of the country and when he eventually conducted the election and lost refused to leave the office.

According to Obasanjo, I was away because I had a number of assignment abroad which took me to Morocco, Munich, Nairobi, London and New Delhi. Exactly a week today, when we were in Munich for what they called Munich security conferences annual event and all people who are in security community normally, you found them there.

“For this year, the Vice President of America was there, the Secretary of State, John Kerry was there, the Chancellor of Federal Republic of Germany was there, President of Ukraine was there and many others.

“I was there with Koffie Annan, our side was to talk about peace and security in Africa, I was to handle the African perspective while Koffie Annan was to look at it from the global perspective.

“While I was out, I refused to make any categorical statement on this issue because I wanted to come back home and learn at first hand what actually transpired and what was going on, and it turned out to be a forced decision on the INEC because it was alleged that the Security Chiefs were unable to provide security and as a result the Chairman of INEC had to postpone, in accordance with the dictates of the so called Security Chiefs.

“I thought for me, that was bad precedent for democracy in Nigeria, it meant it doesn’t matter what preparation or lack of preparation any electoral body could make in Nigeria, the final decision weather election will take place on the day scheduled for it lies in the domains of the security, it is a sad day for democracy in Nigeria.

“And I will say this, we must all feel concern before democracy is killed. The observable and what would appear to be happening is that the president has a grand plan, a grand plan to ensure that by hook or by crook, he wins the election or if it all fails, they scuttles it and create chaos, confusion and unpleasantness in the whole country.

“Because it is the duty and function and responsibility of the security officers to provide security, the President is the Chief Security of the country and he is the Commander in Chief and if security is required anywhere anytime, it is his duty to provide it, failure to provide it is deriliction of duty, pure and simple.

“Either the President following his own grand plan or his aides and associates are working a script, they are playing a script which must not got his endorsement if not initiated from him.

“What again it looks to me is that the President is trying to playing Gbagbo, Gbagbo was the former President of Cote d’Ivoire and Gbagbo made sure he postponed the election in his country until he was sure he would win and then allowed the election to take place, he got an inconclusive election in the first ballot and I believe this is the sort of thing Nigeria may fall into if I am right in what I observed as the grand plan and then in the run-off, Gbgbo lost with 8% behind Ouattara and then refused to hand over. All reasonable persuasion and pleading was rebuffed by him and he unleashed horror in that country until nemesis caught up with him.

“I believe that we may be seeing the repeat of Gbabgo or what I called Gbagbo saga here in Nigeria, I hope not .

that will be after 2023

Gorilla dude,thiefnu.bu is a bastard , while fashola is a thief, and ambode is an slowpoke vegetable, buhari is brainless.

I don tire for this obj rant sef

Y'all can say the man is ranting for all I care. This topic is the most precise summary/reason GEJ will never hamd over to Buhari.
If your successor has promised you jail, how in the father's name are you supposed to allow him win? Who wan die na?

If the Otuoke man is guilty then he should go inbox. Chairman Managing Director Corruption Nig. PLC " Stealing is not curroption "

I THOUGHT THIS BABOON SAID THAT HE WILL NO TALK AGAIN TILL AFTER THE ELECTION? GOODLUCK MUST RULE NIGERIA TILL 2019 WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, SEE BABOON THAT WANT TO RULE NIGERIA FROM OTA FARM, ANIMAL THAT SOLD BAKASSI TO CAMEROUN, PREPARE YOUR PEOPLE TO GO AND DO WHAT IVORIANS DID TO GBAGBO AND SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO NIGEERIA, USELESS MAN THAT CAN NOT TAKE CARE OF HIS FAMILY

Aiit

Ehnehn...E be lyk say Obasanjo just dey reveal d reason why he support and endorse Buhari be dat. He has seen slim chances for PDP in dis election. So in case Buhari wins, he wants to seek his favour so he won't be jailed for his numerous corruption cases. That's d reason for his alliance wit d opposition. Shame!

Chai!!!!

I doubt this statement comes from OBJ because I consider him too knowledgeable to speak like some boys on NL.

Here are my reasons:

1. Did Buhari jail Shagari? Rather he jailed his vice, Ekwueme. So Sambo should rather be scared of going to jail.

2. Won't Buhari jail Obasanjo who has not accounted for 16 billion dollars he embezzled in the name of rehabilitation of NEPA?

3. Won't Buhari jail Obasanjo for masterminding fake privatization with attendant looting?

4. Won't Buhari jail Obasanjo for duping Nigerians of billions of Naira in the name of donations for building national library which all documents are written in his name as owner?


4. Won't Buhari jail Obasanjo for rigging all elections in the past in favour of PDP?


5. Won't Buhari jail Obasanjo for killing thousands of people and destroying properties worth billions of Naira in Zaki-Biam and Odi. No problem here for Obasanjo because he killed kafir ( infidels).




Well, he might not jail him after all because he supervised and aided the enthronement of Sharia in Nigeria which many say is Buhari's / APC primary mission.

How can you compare ivory coast to Nigeria, buhari supporter have reduced

If GEJ is jailed den OBJ is to be sentenced to life...

Juliaann:
that will be after 2023

so njoooo! chai!
