Hmm!, When Obj writes you a letter.
ebora owu himself.

You have no elders at home

This ugly animal too they talk

take the message and the leave messenger. He made some good points, that has nothing to do with ugliness.

Brilliant write-up by Baba PhD.

He said it all!

It is now time for APC to groom Ribadu or El-Rufai for the role.

If they don't, they are at risk, unless the PDP continues putting forward more crooks, like Atiku or Jonathan, as candidate. Then any person with a functioning brain-cell in his head would say Buhari till 2023.

If Nigeria has Ribadu/El-Rufai vs Duke in 2019, that would be fantastic political system progress.

Obasanjo has identified a lot of our problems, like most minds have always done. Unfortunately, Obasanjo has not provided any viable or real world alternatives or solutions!

Coalition for Nigeria ko, CoN ni — a real con man.

When you finally get a functioning brain, you will realise men with one and who are strategic in nature show their cards in phases.

They don't think, talk and behave like Amala strategist like you.

Welcome to Phase 1!

We don't want this old men in the affairs of the country again. Even though Aremu, sorry Dr Aremu speaks in his own personal concern most times, he speaks right sometimes.

Bubu the kwaraption fighter is going home to tend to his cows.

Seriously, no tangible development since baba left office in 2007. I was a teenager when he was in office but I can tell obviously the difference since he left. If we had someone like him after he left, Naija for don advance small. We been going round same circle since he left. Thief accuse thief today, the accused thief accuse the accuser thief tomorrow. During OBJ,s the accused thief would be in Jail whilst the accuser does little nation development. We would have gotten somewhere not all this we have now.

Your father must be animal, for calling someone else father and grand father animal, if what he's saying is not making sense to you then fu...king get out of here.

seunmsg:
Baba has spoken and i cannot even fault most of his observations. However, who should we support in 2019? PDP is not an option in as much as a Fulani man will be flying their ticket. I will never be a party to putting a Fulani man in aso rock for 12 years.

A coalition of Nigerians movement? Well, lets see how it goes.

Team Fela Durotoye is the man of the people

OBJ though a hard man is also the smartest politician Nigeria ever had. He sees the future when it comes to politics. He just spoke the mind of millions of Nigerians.

Abogwara:
I still maintain that the present problem we have in Nigeria is product of PDP's campaign in 2015 and their method of opposition which is unconventional. Only a military man using death penalty for the slightest of anti-unity offence can redirect Nigeria. I expected Buhari to be a tough tyrant that would kill corruption unconventionally but he chose to follow rule of law whjch can never work in Nigeria.

You expected an unrepentant ethnic champion to be pro-unity.

sekxyqueen:
this monkey don they get sense.

Seriously ur comment made me drop my phone.
No be small monkey o chimpanzee ROTFL

cnsprince76:
OBJ knew quite well that PMB was a misfit but chose to navigate him and other APC cohorts to power; believing that PMB will die in office like Yar'Adua. One of the greatest challenge we had to contest with in our quest as a nation for good governance is the OBJ factor. As long as he continues to dictate the direction of our national and local politics, Nigeria will never have it right.

He doesn't dictate any direction. He merely ride on a popular wave.

NgeneUkwenu:
If you believed Buhari will lose the election in 2019....then you are a novice in politics...The difference between Jonathan and Buhari in 2015 is the Support Base! Buhari has favoured the North, who determine who rules Nigeria... And they can never abandon him for any other unknown Northerner....Buhari Northern Support Base is intact ever than before....and He will win convincingly, if he contests..

Watch out in days to come, how they will turn the campaign..

Which support base? SW, SS, SE ? Middle Belt ( say no more ) Kaduna, Kogi, Adamawa, Kano, all divided.
People will collect his largesse and still vote against him.
If Gej could be booted out for corruption, how much more a national disaster.
He was smart enough to appoint a notherner as INEC chairman which may work in his favour

Buhari is setting Nigeria on a bigger fire... Kick him out before he bury Nigeria with his herdsmen...

Atiku and Jonathan are far better than the Buhari you supported in 2015.

And no id*ot should groom El-Rufai. That is a mortal sin.

I'd take Ribadu or Sani over any current Northern presidential candidate. But let's keep watch. The right candidates hardly ever get the ticket.

ahead ahead bubu must go

And for who to run?



This is a quote from a Self Serving Opportunist, Who Wanted To Alter The Constitution Of The Country, For An Illegal 3rd Term!

The same man who kept Tony Anenin In Government for 8 Years?

Obasanjo is just pained, that he has been sidelined in the affairs of APC/PDP...hence his selfish demand for a Phantom Movement...

Who are going to be the members of the new movement?

The same APC/PDP members?

The same brainwashed youths?

Abeg this yeye man should go and enjoy his loot!

Chai! E pain am gan!

Finally the head of the lions have spoken,now the leaders of the lion (Tinubu) will make sure the words of the head the lion does not fall to the ground.
As I write this now, the leader of the lions has convene a meeting for a new direction. But I beg all the youths here, whether Igbo, yoruba or housa or Ijaw or igala or middle belt or core north or Ekiti, where ever you come from, never should we allow the elders to choose a leader for us again

Nonsense!

Buhari has always been favoured by the North; what did he win until he could get the support of the SW?

Historical evidence will show you that to win election in Nigeria you need to have a strong support base in at least 2 of the 3 major tribes.

If you have this base with the Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba, then you have virtually won bar any mega-rigging. Fortunately, the Cretin of Otuoke was too drunk to know this simple fact.

Sagamite:

If in 2018, you still think Buhari is better than Jonathan and Atiku, you need to check yourself.

And do all of us a favor, don't vote in 2019.

Recommending El-Rufai who paid killers instead of arresting them.

the youth have lost respect and value to communication since the advent of social media, they talk without reason, never proffer solution to problem, always in a hurry to abuse or use insulting language, incite hate and speak bigotry and yet they want to lead.

@POLITICSNGR

Ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo has in a 13-page Scathing statement called on the president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari to bury any plans of recontesting in 2019.

Obasanjo, in a special press statement obtained by PoliticsNGR, titled “The Way Out: A Clarion Call for Coalition for Nigeria Movement”, urged President Buhari to "honourably dismount from the Horse" and join the league of the country’s former leaders whose “experience, influence, wisdom, and outreach can be deployed on the sideline for the good of the country.”

Obasanjo disclosed that he feels disappointed with Buhari's performance. OBJ also wrote a similar letter in 2013 against President Goodluck Jonathan, wrote; “Even the horse rider then, with whom I maintain very cordial, happy and social relationship today has come to realise his mistakes and regretted it publicly and I admire his courage and forthrightness in this regard,”.

“He has a role to play on the sideline for the good of Nigeria, Africa, and humanity and I will see him as a partner in playing such a role nationally and internationally, but not as a horse rider in Nigeria again.”

“The lice of poor performance in government – poverty, insecurity, poor economic management, nepotism, gross dereliction of duty, condonation of misdeed – if not outright encouragement of it, lack of progress and hope for the future, lack of national cohesion and poor management of internal political dynamics and widening inequality – are very much with us today,” he wrote.

“With such lice of general and specific poor performance and crying poverty with us, our fingers will not be dry of ‘blood’,” he added.

OBJ thanked Buhari for the way he handled the Boko Haram crisis but pointed out that he failed to be efficient in other areas. He admitted knowing that Buhari was weak in handling the economy, he went ahead and voted for him because at the time “it was a matter of ‘any option but Jonathan’” and because he thought Mr Buhari would appoint qualified Nigerians to help out in that area.

He slammed Mr Buhari for turning a blind eye to corruption within his government saying it amounted to condonation and cover-up saying whoever is “going to justice must be with clean hands.”

He also berated Mr Buhari for allowing the clashes between herdsmen and farmers to go “sour” and messy saying the endorsement of the President by some governors to seek re-election barely 24 hours after 73 people who were killed by herdsmen in Benue State were given mass burial was “a sad symptom of insensitivity and callousness.”

But Mr. Obasanjo reserved his harshest words for what he described as Mr. Buhari’s clannishness, lack of understanding of the dynamics of politics, and his tendencies to pass the buck of his government’s inadequacies to the immediate past administration.

“But there are three other areas where President Buhari has come out more glaringly than most of us thought we knew about him. One is nepotic deployment bordering on clannishness and inability to bring discipline to bear on errant members of his nepotic court. This has grave consequences on performance of his government to the detriment of the nation. It would appear that national interest was being sacrificed on the altar of nepotic interest. What does one make of a case like that of Maina: collusion, condonation, ineptitude, incompetence, dereliction of responsibility or kinship and friendship on the part of those who should have taken visible and deterrent disciplinary action? How many similar cases are buried, ignored or covered up and not yet in the glare of the media and the public?

“The second is his poor understanding of the dynamics of internal politics. This has led to wittingly or unwittingly making the nation more divided and inequality has widened and become more pronounced. It also has effect on general national security.

“The third is passing the buck. For instance, blaming the Governor of the Central Bank for devaluation of the naira by 70% or so and blaming past governments for it, is to say the least, not accepting one’s own responsibility. Let nobody deceive us, economy feeds on politics and because our politics is depressing, our economy is even more depressing today. If things were good, President Buhari would not need to come in. He was voted to fix things that were bad and not engage in the blame game.”

Buhari and the APC not the Solution to Nigeria's Problem

Mr Obasanjo thus argued that neither Mr Buhari nor his party, the All Progressives Congress hold the solution to the country’s problems. He suggested that Mr Buhari was not healthy enough to withstand the rigour associated with running a country like Nigeria neither does his party capable of providing the answer needed to sail the country through its difficulties.

Mr Obasanjo said Buhari should step down at the end of his first term with honour and dignity and attend to his health and should not listen to the his “self-serving so-called adviserswho would claim that they love him more than God loves him and that without him, there would be no Nigeria say.”

“President Buhari needs a dignified and honourable dismount from the horse. He needs to have time to reflect, refurbish physically and recoup and after appropriate rest, once again, join the stock of Nigerian leaders whose experience, influence, wisdom and outreach can be deployed on the side line for the good of the country. His place in history is already assured. Without impaired health and strain of age, running the affairs of Nigeria is a 25/7 affair, not 24/7.

“I only appeal to brother Buhari to consider a deserved rest at this point in time and at this age. I continue to wish him robust health to enjoy his retirement from active public service. President Buhari does not necessarily need to heed my advice. But whether or not he heeds it, Nigeria needs to move on and move forward,” he said.

“I have had occasion in the past to say that the two main political parties – APC and PDP – were wobbling. I must reiterate that nothing has happened to convince me otherwise. If anything, I am reinforced in my conviction. The recent show of PDP must give grave and great concern to lovers of Nigeria.

“To claim, as has been credited to the chief kingmaker of PDP, that for procuring the Supreme Court judgement for his faction of the Party, he must dictate the tune all the way and this is indeed fraught with danger.

“If neither APC nor PDP is a worthy horse to ride to lead Nigeria at this crucial and critical time, what then do we do? Remember Farooq Kperogi, an Associate Professor at the Kennesaw State University, Georgia, United States, calls it “a cruel Hobson’s choice; it’s like a choice between six and half a dozen, between evil and evil. Any selection or deflection would be a distinction without a difference.” We cannot just sit down lamenting and wringing our hands desperately and hopelessly.

Coalition of Nigerians

Having ruled out the PDP and the ruling APC of possessing the panacea to the malaise that ails the country, Mr Obasanjo therefore called for a movement he termed Coalition of Nigeria, which he offered to be a part of, to wrest power from the present ruling class and lead the country into the path of rebirth.

“We can collectively save ourselves from the position we find ourselves. It will not come through self-pity, fruitless complaint or protest but through constructive and positive engagement and collective action for the good of our nation and ourselves and our children and their children. We need moral re-armament and engaging togetherness of people of like-mind and goodwill to come solidly together to lift Nigeria up. This is no time for trading blames or embarking on futile argument and neither should we accept untenable excuses for non-performance.

“Let us accept that the present administration has done what it can do to the limit of its ability, aptitude and understanding. Let the administration and its political party platform agree with the rest of us that what they have done and what they are capable of doing is not good enough for us. They have given as best as they have and as best as they can give. Nigeria deserves and urgently needs better than what they have given or what we know they are capable of giving. To ask them to give more will be unrealistic and will only sentence Nigeria to a prison term of four years if not destroy it beyond the possibility of an early recovery and substantial growth.

“The development and modernization of our country and society must be anchored and sustained on dynamic Nigerian culture, enduring values and an enchanting Nigerian dream. We must have abiding faith in our country and its role and place within the comity of nations. Today, Nigeria needs all hands on deck. All hands of men and women of goodwill must be on deck. We need all hands to move our country forward.

“We need a Coalition for Nigeria, CN. Such a Movement at this juncture needs not be a political party but one to which all well-meaning Nigerians can belong. That Movement must be a coalition for democracy, good governance, social and economic well-being and progress. Coalition to salvage and redeem our country. You can count me with such a Movement. Last time, we asked, prayed and worked for change and God granted our request. This time, we must ask, pray and work for change with unity, security and progress. And God will again grant us. Of course, nothing should stop such a Movement from satisfying conditions for fielding candidates for elections. But if at any stage the Movement wishes to metamorphose into candidate-sponsoring Movement for elections, I will bow out of the Movement because I will continue to maintain my non-partisan position. Coalition for Nigeria must have its headquarters in Abuja.

“This Coalition for Nigeria will be a Movement that will drive Nigeria up and forward. It must have a pride of place for all Nigerians, particularly for our youth and our women. It is a coalition of hope for all Nigerians for speedy, quality and equal development, security, unity, prosperity and progress. It is a coalition to banish poverty, insecurity and despair. Our country must not be oblivious to concomitant danger around, outside and ahead. Coalition for Nigeria must be a Movement to break new ground in building a united country, a socially-cohesive and moderately prosperous society with equity, equality of opportunity, justice and a dynamic and progressive economy that is self-reliant and takes active part in global division of labour and international decision-making.

“The Movement must work out the path of development and the trajectory of development in speed, quality and equality in the short- medium- and long-term for Nigeria on the basis of sustainability, stability, predictability, credibility, security, cooperation and prosperity with diminishing inequality. What is called for is love, commitment and interest in our country, not in self, friends and kinship alone but particularly love, compassion and interest in the poor, underprivileged and downtrodden.

Hopefully, the Dullardeen of Daura would do as you say (in bold).

At a time when rigging for Presidential elections should be in the past, your ilk guaranteed that it became a necessity to win the Presidency.

All of a sudden, a man who believes in do-or-die elections is now the man holding the torch.
