The effect of the ‘letter bomb’ of Obasanjo is
yet to die down, at least in the camp of
Buhari’s supporters as the minister of
communications on Monday, came down hard
on Obasanjo.
Speaking while addressing state house
correspondents at the presidential villa in
Abuja on Monday, the minister of
communications and the main leader of the
president’s reelection in the south-west,
Adebayo Shittu, came down hard on Obasanjo.
The minister who accused Obasanjo of
engaging in sensationalism, said if he were
ignorant of Buhari’s achievements, those
“who know” could enlighten him.
He asked Obasanjo to allow members of the
ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) decide
Buhari’s fate, saying the Nigerian leader is not
in the position to advise Buhari on the next
election year.
“Obasanjo as a Nigerian has the right to hold
an opinion. If Obasanjo holds an opinion that
Mr President has performed less than it
should be, those of us who are in the position
to know better have a right to also state the
other side which perhaps Obasanjo is ignorant
of,” he said.
“You see, there are some people who enjoy
engaging in sensationalism. With due respect
to General Obasanjo, if you take his history
over the last 30 years, there is hardly any
regime, other than his own, that he did not
criticise. Sani Abacha didn’t wait for Obasanjo
to criticise him before sending him to the
gulag.
“So, many Nigerians know that Obasanjo
enjoys this type of sensationalisation. In any
case, no matter what impression you have of
me, do you have a right to tell me not to
contest an election? I mean we should talk
like people who are educated, who know our
left from the right.
“There are procedures for elections. President
Buhari is a member of the APC and the APC
has its rules and regulations as to how
candidates will emerge, if members of the
party feel that the president has not
performed well enough, it is for them to show
that during the primary election. It’s not for
anybody to shortchange Nigerians and prevent
people from offering themselves for an
election.
“In any case, since Obasanjo is no more a
member of a party, with due respect, it
doesn’t lie in his mouth to tell us who among
our party members or leaders to contest or
not to contest. I think Nigerians should
concede this privilege to we the members of
APC to decide the fate of Mr President when
the next round of primary comes.”

Mr shittu, pmb might have achieved in some areas, but what Obasanjo is saying is that if those achievements are weighed against the areas he has failed, then his sincere advice to Buhari is to drop the idea of recontesting because he is more likely to fail again, even worse. What is expected of you is to address those areas discussed in the letter and forget about Obasanjo's penchant for criticising all previous administrations because that is not a defence.

The terrorist Shittu will eat his poo soon

No need for the insults if you really have something in your brain. Give them reasons why they shouldn't be re-elected.
