Tinubu is the National leader of the APC.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says he doesn’t know the position Asiwaju Bola Tinubu currently holds in the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Obasanjo said this during a programme titled, “The Talk,” which was aired on a YouTube Channel, “Voice of the People.”

The former President had been asked to identify the designations of certain political figures in the country.

He identified Muhammadu Buhari and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as the President and Vice President respectively, while he also identified Senator Bukola Saraki as the Senate President.

When asked to identify Tinubu, he said, “Oh, Bola? Bola is supposed to be the leader of the APC. I don’t know the position of his leadership as you and I are talking.”

In the interview, which seemed to have been recorded before he openly endorsed the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abibakar, the former President said he had hoped that Atiku would succeed him as President in 2007.

Obasanjo said this was the reason he gave Atiku a lot of responsibilities but his former deputy made some wrong decisions.

“Atiku didn’t want to become even a Vice President (in 1999). He was elected as a governor,” he recalled.

He, however, said his plan was to mentor Atiku to be his successor but his former deputy failed him.

Obasanjo added, “My plan was that he would be given a lot of work to do domestically and Atiku even used to complain that I gave him too much work to do, which was intentional because I wanted him to get to know things.

“My second term was that having prepared him for domestic issues, I would want him to represent Nigeria for one year at the African Union, Economic Community of West African States and the United Nations for a year so that he would be fully prepared, but the first thing I found out was that his judgement was not right on many occasions.”

The former President, who insisted that Buhari had not done well in government, said as a watchman, he would continue to speak up when things were going wrong.

He said there was the need for Nigerians, especially the youth, to elect leaders that could fit into a “digital 21st century post-modern era rather than electing analogue personalities.”

On the Boko Haram crisis, Obasanjo said after he left office in 2007, his successor (late Umaru Yar’Adua) mismanaged the issue, which caused the group to become terrorists.

Obasanjo said had he been President at the time, Boko Haram would not have become what it is today.

He recalled that in 2011, with the permission of former President Goodluck Jonathan, he visited the family of Boko Haram founder, Mohammed Yusuf, and other aggrieved persons in the terrorist group and they explained why they were carrying out attacks.

The former President added, “In 2011, I went to Maiduguri. This was after Boko Haram had attacked the UN building in Abuja and I just wanted to know who they were and if they had leaders and what their grievances were.

“I found out that these elements of Boko Haram had been there even while I was in government. And they, through their intermediary, said they were there and I didn’t disturb them so they didn’t disturb me.

“They were preaching Sharia and that was what they wanted. But, according to them, when I left government, they were being chased and haunted and they lost a number of their adherents and they decided to fight back and even the leader of their sect, Mohammed Yusuf, was killed and his in-law was also killed.

“They went to court to try and get compensation which was granted to them but the state government did not pay.”

erinalex:

Pls stop crying more than the bereaved.

Willy7:
May God deliver us from poor judgments that would scuttle our chances of success. Honestly I'm deeply touched by his submission about Atiku. I got a whole lot of message from that. As for Tinubu, he is the owner of Lagos and its political structure.And by extention some SW states. His position is well spelled out, except OBJ just wanted to feign ignorance. God help the Nigeria electorates in her choice of president next year. Personally I'm troubled.

PUSSYBOY2:
Sharaap old fool , An average South westerner respect Tinubu than you OBJ, everybody knows Tinubu's role except for this old fool OBJ, as long as Tinubu stand with APC 70% yoruba will vote APC. OBJ is nothing in the South West region.

plaetton:
Oh, Such a child.
Unable to think beyond the periphery.

Daboomb:
Which oracle?
This useless loud-mouth who is very good at slandering people who are dead or are undergoing difficulty.

I wont defend Buhari at all because he has fumbled on the Fulani herdsmen issue but let us examine what the greedy opportunist and Peadophile has said.

1.) he wanted to prepare Atiku for President after his own two terms but "Atiku showed BAD JUDGEMENT ON MANY OCCASSIONS".

Questions:
a.) If you really wanted him to suceed you, why were you bribing NASS members with Bags of money so they can support your third term bid?

OBJ, you are LIAR. a shameless liar.

b.) So, after you concluded that Atiku lacks good judgement and he cant be President, even went as saying god will not forgive you if you support his Presidency...... Has he suddenly developed good Judgement NOW or is it your hatred for Buhari now (because he wont allow you to be dictating to him), that is making you support this same Atiku now, a fugutive and a looter ?

OBJ, you are Despicable and a soothsayer.


2.) According to Obasanjo, if he was President, Boko haram wont have spread like this.
“I found out that these elements of Boko Haram had been there even while I was in government. And they, through their intermediary, said they were there and I didn’t disturb them so they didn’t disturb me.

“They were preaching Sharia and that was what they wanted. But, according to them, when I left government, they were being chased and haunted and they lost a number of their adherents and they decided to fight back and even the leader of their sect, Mohammed Yusuf, was killed and his in-law was also killed.

Letus examine again, the fallacy of this senile old liar!
a) Boko haram has been there even during his Govt and OBJ did not disturb them. WHY?
Remember that it was under OBJ that this country started being divided, while some where rules bythe Nigerian constitution, this weakling of an OBJ allowed some states to say they are no longer governed and submissive to the Nigerian constitution and it is now Sharia law they would obey.

OBJ the Coward looked the other way and pretended it was not happeneing under his watch as the C-in-C of the Armed forces, because he was scared of the Northerners. Buhari and Yar Ardua on the oher hand, were ready to confront this Sect. Even Jonathan was confronting them.

Obasanjo, you are a cheap coward that superintended the division and violation of the Nigerian Constitution. They should expung your name from the national honors.

Obviously, Obasanjo is a crook who likes to be in-charge and control the President and once they dont allow him to control them, he will start undermining them.
He did it to Jonathan, he is doing it to Buhari now and you can bet me 100% that even if Atiku became the President in 2019, it wont take one year before he starts recieving a stupid letter from OBJ, if he does not allow OBJ to be controlling him.

This is the same OBJ that starved Lagos of its funds for seven years, when Tinubu was Governor.
Shame on you Obasanjo.


OBJ will realise now that he has become irrelevant.

thatigboman:
1st time i will ever agree with obasanjo. And that's because i have been asking the same question myself. What post does tinubu hold in APC? He is just a floor member. He is not even a ward delegate.

googlepikins:
Tinubu is just there trying to feel important.

Fulanis deceived him in 1st term obviously they will deceive him again in 2nd half.

Zimmermann:
His position is: APC Stalwart, Office of the Accursed Slave & Useful Idiot, South West chapter ,

lx3as:
So Obasanjo was in charge 2009 when Yusuf was murdered by PDP government?

ArmaniUhuru:
Same way your life is being troubled over Atiku and PDP issues. The truth is your brown teeth godfather was deceived and sidelined with that ceremonial position. Deal with it.

2015
Breaking News: Obj tore his PDP membership card.
He said, Gej is not competent to continue as d president.
He went ahead, and listed gej sins.
IBOS & IPOBS, reacted to OBJ comments on gej.
They said, Obj is suffering from old age diseases, he's Not in tune with modern ways of doing things; 1000 of OBJ cannot remove gej, he has only 1 vote. Obj is envious of our son. Politically, obj is not a force to reckon with, someone that lost in his ward,local govt, state.
2018
Breaking News: Obj declare support for Atiku and said PMB must go.
IBOS & IPOBS reactions :
Obj, d sage has spoken; d Oracle nailed it. God bless obj for us, an elder statesman, a man of international repute, lover of masses,our father, our mentor , and above all, when obj sneezes, Tinubu catches fever.
This is d way and life of an average IBOS & IPOBS.
When it suit them, they can change goalposts position, more than 1000 times in a 90minutes game.
Suddenly they now believe in Nigeria Project.
Yes to elections
No to Biafra

And in reacting to your comments, the only thing Ipobs can offer are, words of abuse.
Please don't blame them, they DON'T HAVE CAPACITY TO DRIVE HOME THEIR POINTS; without been abusive and rain curses on you.

Ategberoson:
