MrMcJay:
Obasanjo wanted to end Tinubu's political career also. The problem was that Tinubu had his people behind him 100%.

When Obasanjo was President and Tinubu was Gov of Lagos, Obasanjo wanted to hold a rally in Lagos and on the day of the rally, all the transport unions in Lagos went on strike. Obasanjo's rally was a terrible flop.

The second time Obasanjo wanted to hold a rally in Lagos, Obanikoro was the PDP guber candidate and Bode George was the PDP leader in Lagos. On the day of the rally, Tinubu fixed 4 mega rallies in the 4 political axes of Lagos (Ikorodu, Epe, Alimosho and Badagry). PDP didn't see crowd to hire and the rally was a disgrace. Obasanjo and Obanikoro were forced to go into Ketu market and Mile 12 market to campaign.

It was a very humiliating experience for Obasanjo as a sitting President. Obasanjo never forgave Bode George for the humiliation he suffered in Tinubu's hands.

I don't think obj killed atiku"s career. Atiku could have been a governor before he became VP.
He still has/have the chance to revive his career and why he hasn't done that uptill now baffles me.
He has the network and funds and even sympathy to become the governor of his state, that will afford him the opportunity to show what he can do, grant him access to funds and a huge political capital to mobilize and oil his machinery for a presidential contest.
Why the Waziri hasn't done this and if he goes away politically, I won't blame obj. He's always had a political lifeline.

Oblongata:
Love or hate him, still the best president so far...

One thing you cannot take from him is that

Baba was in charge!

adenigga:
The intonation of this article speaks volumes.

Please, do me a favour! Juxtapose Obasanjo' administration with the current administration and the one before Obasanjo, I mean during the first & Second republics.

Then draw your conclusion objectively.

Thanks!

TOPCRUISE:
A pained person is responsible for this write up. Obasanjo did not kill anybody's career. He is not a Hypocritical politician that will praise you when you know you did a terrible thing

Yes, he was in charge of those that looted your future and took you back 100 years.
He was indeed in charge of your life Mr oblonganta.
Say no more!


He was truly in charge!!


Try to take it easy on Baba Ota.
He is an old man you know.

Posterity will judge him and all politicans who turned our darling nation into such reign.

Karma has everyone's address

Atleast you will first see something before hoping to feel it.
No be so?

But I think everyone is entitled to his own opinion.

MrMcJay:


I believe you are educated, you should know better than to peddle a single narrative.

If Atiku could take Lagos, what stopped him from winning Adamawa in all the elections he's been contesting from 2007 till today.
If Atiku could take Lagos, why did he run to Tinubu to help him in 2007?
Even in Ogun state, do you know what happened in Abeokuta on election day?
Which yeye Atiku.

Unlike other states, Lagos is a different kettle of fish entirely. As at that time, the NADECO sentiments in Lagos were very very strong. In fact, Ikeja GRA was the defacto base of NADECO in the SW.

So, Atiku can say any nonsense he wants to say. He knows his audience. Talk is cheap but facts are sacred.

MrMcJay:


The problem Atiku has is that he has a perception problem. He has been tagged as a thief and he hasn't done enough to shed that tag. Obasanjo gazetted him as a thief in a Federal Government Gazette before the court ruled that it was illegal. However, Atiku himself hasn't done much to shed that. Not that Atiku is worse than the average Nigerian politician but Obasanjo really ruined Atiku to the extent that since 1999, Atiku has ever won his own state of Adamawa.

Secondly, Atiku lacks grassroots support. The thing with grassroots support is that it is something money can not buy. As a grassroots politician, people would be willing to use their own personal resources to push your cause.

Atiku has had several chances to endear himself to the masses, but he's consistently bungled that. This current government has made several foolish mistakes and insensitive decisions. Have you heard Atiku say anything in defence of the people who are potential voters? No. But once election time comes, he finds his voice. You saw Atiku almost sleeping in the SE during the last election. When last did you see him there? When last did he visit senior SE leaders?

Atiku only plays only election politics and that is why he would keep losing till infinity. Sensible politicians endear themselves to their people and those people are the ones who are voters. Atiku needs to learn how to play politics. There is more to politics than bribing delegates and paying bloggers to promote rubbish.

kalu61:
The problem was Atiku who was given the mission to eliminate Tinubu spared him for reasons best known to him

bobolaga:
When this monster is campaigning ,the first thing that came out of their mouth is that,PDP HAS DESTROY Nigeria for 16years,now the question is that from 1960 up till date who rule Nigeria most are Northerners,then minus 16 years from from 60 years,so those that govern Nigeria most are the one that destroy Nigeria not PDP,they knew that we Nigerian has less sense of thinking and our brain did not accumulate records that is why all this is keep repeated.

GoodofNaija:
Useless story!!!


Simply analogy is to compare obasanjo admin with the present admin


You will see that the difference is that of A and F!

While obasanjo tried to project everything good about Nigeria by uniting Nigerians,

Buhari is trying to project everything that is wrong about Nigeria by dividing us along tribal and religious lines.

MrMcJay:


Atiku couldn't do jack to Tinubu. Young Arebamen was CP Lagos at that time and when he got the instruction from Abuja as regards Tinubu, he informed Timubu and Tinubu was at alert.

When Tinubu outsmarted Atiku and OBJ, Arebamen was retired from the Police and Tinubu created LASTMA and made Arebamen head LASTMA.

Tinubu has an unnatural ability of making people loyal to him and he rewards loyalty heavily. That is why even opposition politicians in PDP try to be loyal to Tinubu because they know they would need him one day.
