Former President Obasanjo says the outcome of the recent Presidential election in Nigeria has proved to African leaders that securing a second term in office 'is no longer a right.'
He said this at a press conference organized as part of events to mark African Day in Berlin Germany yesterday. According to Obasanjo, Nigeria has gotten it right this time around with this election.
"The peoples wish prevailed. I am proud to say it here that Nigeria got it right this time around. The elections may not have been perfect, but it was a reflection of the people’s wish. Even where there were manipulations, it did not affect the results.
Attempts to rig did not yield any positive results. I think with what happened, people will no longer be eager to manipulate elections. When we started PDP many people thought and even voiced it, that the party will rule forever, but look at it today. It is only 16 years down the road and the PDP is already an opposition party” he said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Obasanjo who tried his best for a 3rd term is talking oh. If GJ was like him he would have threatened all opposition into submission regardless of any cost to innocent life. Why do we still let this man be relevant?

ReplyDeleteOBJ might not be in a good position to make this statement. But what he said is right. At least in this election.
ReplyDeleteYour first term performance must speak before you can get second term. So when he said 'is no longer a right', he was saying the truth.
Leave him alone
