The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation has told former President Olusegun Obasanjo to stop playing God over his numerous criticisms of President Goodluck Jonathan.
The organsiation was reacting to the claim by Obasanjo that President Jonathan was planning to perpetuate himself in office.
Apart from this, the former President also accused Jonathan of planning to cause chaos if he lost the March 28 presidential election.
But the Director of Media and Publicity of the organsiation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, debunked the allegations, saying the former President under whom he served as Minister of Aviation and Special Assistant on Public Communication, was trying to play God.
Fani-Kayode, who spoke at a press briefing in Abuja on Sunday, accused his former boss of trying in vain to control President Jonathan.
He said the problem between the two members of the ruling party had nothing to do with Nigeria, and called on the former President to leave Nigeria out of the issues between him and the President.
He said, “The bottom line is this: President Obasanjo’s grouse with President Jonathan is personal and it has nothing to do with Nigeria.
“He should leave Nigeria out of it and let us all be. If he has a personal score to settle with Jonathan he should not do so at the expense of the peace and stability of Nigeria.
“If he wants to stop Jonathan then let him attempt to do so through the democratic process and through the ballot box and not through foul and unconstitutional means.
“We said it before and we will say it again: gone are the days that any President can be tele-guided and controlled because we have all come of age.
“We continue to hold President Obasanjo in high esteem but his recent actions and utterances are beyond the pale. He has been unfair to Jonathan, to Nigeria and even to himself.
“Most importantly the days of intimidating others with his harsh words and overbearing influence are long over. Obasanjo is not God.
“Only God is God and He alone determines the fortunes of men and the destiny of nations.”
Fani-Kayode said that after Jonathan came to power, Obasanjo did not only try to control and tele-guide the President, but he also asked him to do a number of things that he said were simply wrong and unacceptable.
Asked to tell Nigerians those issues, he refused. He merely said that the President would speak on the matter anytime he likes. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteYou are very stupid and your comment stinks of illiteracy, Jonathan was massively voted for in 2011 and if you don't want him there again simply go out and vote against him, not calling on one idiot like yourself to come and return him. OBJ is very irrelevant as far as am concerned just like you!

I really will not blame you but blame OBJ that was shouting it is a do or die affair in 2007 that saw that drunk as a vice president and retarded to a president. OBJ irrelevant , the commentator irrelevant; 2votes gone. you comments stinks wisely... you still depend on your 2011 rigging ha ha ha lets see how it goes; Idot!!!!.
DeleteObasnjo is a bitter, angry and sinking old man who doesn't have a single respect for Nigeria and he thought Nigeria is his personal property.
ReplyDeletePlease Obasanjo settle your problem with Jonathan privately because no matter what at least GEJ is at the moment the president of Nigeria.
OBJ you are not God at all, the will of God will be done and not man instead of this old man to seek to the peace of the country is causing more problem as if during his time is an angel, wil will vote Jonathan again, let whoever that want to die go and die period
ReplyDeleteWhat Obasanjo is doing simply provokes my sympathy for GoodLuck the more, in fact am even mobilising more support for him because of this stinking old man who thinks and feels he owns Nigeria and can always open his mouth to say all sorts of dirty things.
