The All Progressive Grand
Alliance (APGA) has reacted to former President, Olusegun Obasanjo’s advice to
President Muhammadu Buhari not to contest the 2019 election.
The party’s National Chairman,
Dr. Victor Oye, in a statement said Obasanjo was not in the best position to
advise Buhari.
According to him, Obasanjo was
not justified morally in respect to his past administration in Nigeria to
dictate if Buhari should run for second term.
He said “Obasanjo’s opinion and
Nigerian’s opinions differ. People might have different opinion. What we need
now in Nigeria is for us to remove unnecessary tension.
“Even if Buhari is not going to
run in 2019, we shouldn’t create unnecessary tension because the man himself
knows what to do and he doesn’t need Obasanjo’s letter to take such decision.
“It is Buhari’s entitlement to
run for second term, but if he is saying he cannot run, he knows what to do.
“When Obasanjo was president what
did he do? Was he a wonderful leader? Did he tar road in South-east? Enugu to
Port-Hacourt road he didn’t do it. Okigwe to Oga he didn’t do it, and so on,
and he busy talking about Nepotism. Obasanjo does not have moral justification
to say such a thing.”

He has. because he perform better than them all, they should try to surpass him in achievement too. don't be un-necessarily sentimental because he did not allow you people (Igbo) during Jonathan to ruin Nigeria completely by issuing this kind of statement then.
