ELECTIONS: Obasanjo warns Jonathan against delay tactics


Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Saturday alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan is adopting the delay tactics of former Cote D Ivoire President, Laurent Gbagbo and warned of the likely dire consequences on Nigerians.


The former President who spoke with journalists at his mansion on Presidential Hilltop Estate, Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital said President Jonathan was playing with the future of the country.

Obasanjo noted that President Gbagbo kept shifting the election date in his country until he was sure of winning and when the elections came resulted in a run – off, he did not only refused to handover power upon losing, but also “unleashed chaos, confusion and crisis” on his people “until nemesis caught up with him.”

He warned President Jonathan to be careful of those prodding him on, saying when the heat begins, he would be left “naked and isolated.”
According to Obasanjo, Jonathan’s fear of what Buhari might do to him and others if he loses the polls because of Buhari’s tough disposition towards corruption and others vices informed the shift in election dates.

  5. This man is just a fool, we now no the reason behind is support for Buhari, OBJ is sitting on the fence, if GEJ wins he his safe from prosecution and if he supports Buhari and he wins he will also b safe from prosecution. But this man OBJ is the reason for Nigerias failure, he started democracy from a clean slate and ruined it with rigging, corruption "16 Billion$ on power" disregard for rule of law n he opens his mouth to talk. OBJ's main issue with GEJ was that he was too democratic and that is what caused PDP's problem. From obeying court orders he created PDP problem "Amaech, Oshomole, Fayemi, Aregbeshola, OBI, mimiko. This due process removed pdp govs and put them and gave d opposition strenght and yet we say GEJ is weak cos he was being democratic, something we re not use to. He is insulted but no arrest and we call it weakness or Democracy. Let's watch..GEJ till 2019

  7. Thanks Umpire for your good job. They will see that what they call the weakness of GEJ is actually his strength. OBJ is getting more foul mouthed on daily basis, and Nigerian votes will speak for GEJ. Maybe GMB will tell us why he accused and detained Pa Adekunle Ajasin twice even when he was not found guilty of any corruption charge. He should tell us what he did to Ambrose Ali of former Bendel State that amounted to his (Ambrose's) blindness in prison. He should tell us why he denied Tai Solari (asthma patient) access to his herbs used for the treatment of his illness. Maybe he will tell us why he detained Abe Aku of Benue State best performing governor during the Second Republic, Lateef Jakande of Lagos State, Fela Kuti, Audu Ogbe, Sam Mbakwe, and many others. Our quest for clarity will be achieved if GMB can tell us the offence Ekwueme committed that amounted to his detention in Kirikiri Maximum Prison while Shagari was declared innocent of the same crime purported to have been committed by his vice, Ekwueme. I hope he will not send Osibanjo to prison as it seems he (GMB) is suffering from paranoia. God bless Nigeria.

    2. Man, why is it the you are people supporting Buhari always look for failure on the part of Goodluck. Cant you just stop this hate politics and do the needful. Goodluck has done his bit for Nigeria in so many ways and if he thinks he can do more, for goodness sake allow him. The ballot will speak and that is it. You APC people are giving Nigerians so much problems with all these lies you keep saying all over. If not for the shift in elections you can imagine what would have been happening to Nigeria and Nigerians today and I sure know you APC people will also point hands at Goodluck, but now that he has save this country from INEC'S failure you people will not appreciate him. APC please help us and always say the truth.

  13. If Buhari will arraign corrupt politicians, he will begin from you, even that Operation feed the nation you turned to personal otta farm will be taken back by the Government. You are secretly the richest man in Nigeria for just being a president. Can you tell us that all of your investments are acquired through only your salaries as the president and army??? Bear in mind that when you point someone with one finger, the other three of your fingers are pointing at you.

  15. This statement attributed to OBJ "that President Gbagbo kept shifting the election date in his country until he was sure of winning and when the elections came resulted in a run – off, he did not only refused to handover power upon losing, but also “unleashed chaos, confusion and crisis” on his people “until nemesis caught up with him.” If this statement is actually made by OBJ, he has no good intention for Nigeria. Nigeria election has only be postponed once. Saying that GEJ kept shifting election date is not only dubious but also suspicious. If he wants to conduct coup in Nigeria, he knows very well that he will not succeed.
    In my own opinion, I think that OBJ is bitter because he wanted 3rd term in office but couldn't get it while his hand picked clueless GEJ is about to go for what most Nigerians think is his 3rd term.
    Please let OBJ's advisers advise him to stop being a talkative because the more he talks the more he looses relevance or credibility. God Bless Nigeria. Yours Hon PLEB

  22. OBJ stop disturbing us. It is only in a country like Nigeria your likes can be celebrated. You are the cause of all our problems. You have ruled, tell us what you achieved. We know how your children value you, how the Yoruba nation sees you and Nigerian know you too well. A Leopard cannot change his colour.
