Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has been attacked by President Muhammadu Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu for endorsing the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Garba Shehu said: “President Buhari stands miles ahead of Chief Obasanjo in all fields of national development a feat regarded as cardinal sin to Obasanjo whose hallucinations tell him that he is the best ever to lead Nigeria and there will never be another one better than him.”
“President Buhari just completed the world-class edifice that is the Second Niger Bridge after three decades of failed promises. It is now awaiting commissioning.”
“Obasanjo laid the sod for the bridge in his first term as elected President but failed to complete the work.”
“When Obasanjo sought reelection for his second term in office, he returned to the site to turn the sod for the bridge the second time.”
“When the Obi of Onitsha, boldly reminded him that he had done this in the past, Obasanjo told the foremost Southeast traditional ruler that he was a liar, in the full presence of the Chiefs and Oracles in his palace.”
“Obasanjo lied to the Southeast to get their votes, the Buhari lost their votes but mustered the courage to build the bridge because he believed it is the right thing to do.”
“Buhari has in recent times been bagging awards for trying to do that which the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria spells out for a leader, serve one, or a maximum of two terms and go.”
“Buhari has been emphasising that he will supervise a better election than the one that brought him to office and to leave as and when due.”
“Having tried tenure elongation and failed, Obasanjo’s fictitious mind must be telling him that he is the one under attack.”
“Obasanjo is not on President Buhari’s radar because experience has shown, especially lately in West Africa where there have been at least three successful coups and many other failed attempts, that third term or tenure elongation is a recipe for political instability.”
