Ahmadu Ali himself was a puppet of Obasanjo so i'll suggest we wait for his version of the story....

A bitter truth but inevitable one.... OBASANJO OWNS NIGERIA SINCE 1999
To be fair though, the story says, Yar'adua — not Obasanjo— chose his Running mate himself.

But it was being said that it was obasanjo that handpicked both of them. In fact that obasanjo knows about yaradua's ill health that was why he preferred him ahead of other governors. And that he also imposed GEJ as VP because of Jonathan's political nativity so that should Jonathan eventually ascends the office of the president, he obasanjo will be able to control the leadership. Well, Nigerian press and misinformation are like 5 and 6.

Objection.

Do you think being in that position you have power to oppose certain things as president?

Can you tell us the state of the nation in this your so called APC administration under Buhari's cabals?

If I may also ask! What position are you in your area politically?



Tell Buhari to release our school girls.

If Odili had been VP

PDP would have been in power till date

South-South would have been the political power house

APC wouldn't have existed

Tinubu would have been on exile

Lagos by now would have been a PDP state

The entire South-West would have been PDP

Some statesmen would have disappeared for good

Maybe, Buhari would have been in Daura since 2007

In turn, herdsmen would have advised themselves to build ranches

Shekau's surbodinates would have been the ones hunting him down after receiving Ghana-must-go, not the Army

In Odili's political dictionary, the word "opposition" DOES NOT EXIST
Thank God he didn't become the VP. He would have become a dictator by your write- ups had he become the VP.

FANE4Naija:
Yar Adua. One of the best President of Nigeria. Man had valuable plans and reforms.
I disagree with you.
Yaradua was not really too different from Obasanjo and Jonathan. His sickness imposed gentile appearance created the wrong perception in most Nigerians that he was a good man. Had anything happened to take Jonathan out of power just few days after he sacked Aondoakaa, visited the victims of bomb blast in the hospital, and declared that his ambition was not worth anyone's life; we also would have by now believed that he was just the Messiah we never had.
Come to think of it;
This same Yaradua rejected the two key recommendations of Uwais Electoral Reform Panel report which would have permanently put paid to election incredibility that has plagued the country from 1960. The same Yaradua overruled Charles Soludo's Naira redenomination project which would have in no small measure restored the value of our currency and stimulated economic development. It was Yaradua still who, like OBJ ordered the massacre of innocent women and children in Gbaramatu and Oporoza all in the name of smoking out militants - one of whom was never caught. After revealing the massive corruption his godfather, OBJ, perpetrated through phantom power sector reforms, he could however not send EFCC after him. The same Yaradua had Ibori always around him despite how strongly the later was smelling of corruption and sleaze.
The same Yaradua would in his second year in office appoint Tony Anenih, a corruption gold medal contestant against Obasanjo, as his campaign manager for second term ambition which death cut short.

I can go on and on. There was nothing spectacular about Yaradua's administration to warrant all these fondness for him. The typical Nigerian just doesn't speak ill of the dead.
If OBJ, GEJ, IBB, Buhari, and any of the past rulers still alive dies today the manner by which Nigerians will speak good of them at their funerals will leave one trying to figure out whether these rulers are not the same as the persons currently being cursed daily for their roles in bringing the country to this sorry state.

:op

biafra national assembly, umaru yar adua did not know , that it existed.. so umaru yar adua made a mistake

the northerners can not tell the difference..

buhari thinks osinbajo is yoruba.. osinbanjo is not yoruba..
because obasanjo is not a yoruba person.. obasanjo frameup all yoruba military officers.. there is difference between speaking yoruba and been a yoruba person.. tinubu is not a yoruba person. tinubu is a northerner person.

25% oil derivation by obasanjo. politician tell lies alot. biafra have been coming to collect state revenue and local revenue from nigeria for 50 years.


obasanjo frame up yoruba military officers.

Such documentations are required for our development historically and politically. We should crave for more of such in order to interrogate and decipher with an aim of knowing the truth which enables the straightening of pathways.
