Obasanjo Is A Father To Me And I Am His First Political Son - GEJ by helinues: 11:15am On Feb 21, 2015 |
President Jonathan says despite former Pres. Obasanjo's recent verbal attacks on his administration, he still sees him as his father and his first Political son. GEJ said God used people, including the former president to make him become the President of Nigeria. President Jonathan said this in an interview with Tribune in Lagos "First and foremost, Obasanjo is a father to me. By divine providence and the grace of God, I am the President of Nigeria today. It is not by my strength. But God uses human beings to actualise His own blessings on human beings. And He used so many Nigerians, including former President Obasanjo, to play one role or the other for me. I became the deputy governor of a state, became the governor, the vice president and president. I have no issues with him, and I really don’t want to join issues with President Obasanjo. I think it is not necessary. But I will use this opportunity, because you asked, to just plead with my father that he is a leader, a former president of the country. He has led the country more than anybody, eight years of democratic governance and almost four years of military governance. No other person has that kind of record. The stability of this country is critical in terms of the economy of this country. Rating agencies downgrade countries that are going into elections because the feeling is that there would be crisis. When you paint the colour of instability for your own nation, you are doing so much injustice to the country because it affects the economy of the country, not just affecting the country in terms of security and social issues alone. It affects the economy directly. So, I plead with very senior citizens that Nigeria is dear to us; we don’t have any other country than Nigeria. So, actions and inactions, or utterances, should be guarded so that we don’t expose our country to the international community as if it is a country in danger, a country that is about to collapse. You are frightening investors, especially those who invest hot cash, to pull out their money from the country and that would affect the stock market and it would affect the economy. For one reason or the other, Obasanjo may disagree with me as his first political son. You can even disagree with your own biological children, as a human being, not to talk of disagreeing with your political children. So, he can agree or disagree with me, but the utterances have to be managed in a way that it does not affect the economy and security of this country"he said. On how he felt watching Chief Obasanjo destroy his PDP membership card on the television, Jonathan said the incident had no effect on him because the attacks had been consistent.

Obj is behaving like a nagging woman throwing tantrums and seeking for attention from her man. Obj is bitter tht he hs been sidelined in PDP and the Nigerian politics @ large. Jonathan is wise for saying that cos its actually true and it will help soften the hard stance of the retired general. Obj is playing double game: if Buhari wins, he will say I supported him and if Jona wins, he will say I worked for you behind the scene. After all Nigerians have short memories. 4 Likes |

johnmartus: GEJ gave the speaker of house of rep, to the Yorubas, but Tinubu and ACN were afraid of having any Yoruba strong man/woman arising and challenging their strong hold on the SW. So they made a deal with Tambuwal,and sold the SW speaker slot to him,in exchange for his decamping to ACN,now APC. Blame Tinubu and APC for Yoruba abysmal representation in this GEJ government, not GEJ/PDP. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Remember he already sacrificed his uncle, his half brother, his mother-inlaw, just recently some Bayelsa women, even his wife before he begged the cult group and they then replaced her with some nonentities like you.

My grouse with this man is that he talks to elderly people and adults as though he's talking to impressionable kids. He thinks all these simplistic sweet talking is enough to pacify anybody. Just like telling a fat kid "stop crying, I will buy you biscuits"... So damn elementary. Smh. 2 Likes |

Then I wonder what kind of a son he could be. There is an adage that says what an adult sees sitting down, a child don't see it climbing high on a tree, and that no matter how rich a child is in clothing, he cannot have as much rags as the elders. These two adages refers to the superior wisdom and experience of an elder that put him in the right position to counsel a younger fellow. Premise on this fact, I will submit that is only a bastard that discards the wise counsel of a father that he should disassociate himself from people of questionable characters. What son will enjoy the shoulder of his father to ride to the height and later dumped his father to make someone like Edwin Clark who is more or less a tout a political father and then go ahead to declare an ex-convict in the person of Alayeimesigha a mentor. 2 Likes |

In African society and culture, a first son that doesn't listen to his father's advice is being disowned. We have therefore disowned GEJ even right here in South-South where we both come from. GEJ na born throw away. 1 Like |

chymystique: That is just it. Jonathan is still a baby in politics. The worst part of the matter is for him to be romancing with ex-convicts and corrupt people. In no society anybody can refer to them as a leader. To he be honest, Jonathan is far more better than Buhari in up to 70%. Is it about education, age and exposure about life ( Being fortunate). But to me, he seems weak and clueless. You do not have to wait for some cabals to dictate on how to rule your government. You are been chosen by God to rule us, you have been in our present situation. Why can't you do what will pleases the masses? We can not risk another 4 years hoping you will change. We need the change now. |

OMAR BANGURA from Sierra Leone has this to tell Nigerians; "I don't think you guys know what you are playing with. You can call each other names and laugh about it now but when you end up inciting hate here as I read through your posts here and a real civil war starts in your country you will regret what you are doing now. Your religious and political leaders are trying to divide you between religious lines and you are helping them do that rather than standing up and say we are all Nigerians never mind our tribe, region or religion. That's the only stand that will save your blessed nation. The foreign powers pushing the government to take certain decisions will abandon you when you start killing one another and reject you from running to their countries so be careful. Our 11 year war in Sierra Leone was not even based on religious or tribal difference and see what we did to our country. The worst conflicts are those based on tribal and religious differences. See Central Africa, Bosnia and Rwanda. To have a better knowledge of this, please watch the documentary/movie called "Hotel Rwanda" or "Sometime in April". My heart bleeds when I read what you guys are saying because I know what this will lead to. You will be the losers all of you whether Christian, Muslim, igbo, yoruba or hausa. Stand as one and save your nation together because you have only one Nigeria that has the potential to lead Africa." Lets unite and fight for our nation. GOD BLESS NIGERIA! |
