The Former governor of Abia
state, Theodore Orji, has advised the Buhari-led administration to obey
ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo’s advice to the president a week ago.
Orji, who is representing Abia
Central Senatorial district in the Red Chamber of the national assembly, warned
that Obasanjo was a ‘prophet’ and the letter he wrote should not be treated
with Levity.
Orji told Independent: “Well, I
can only advise the federal government to accede to the advice from the elder
statesman and former President of Nigeria.
“The man has become a prophet and
that is why I advise that his letter should not be treated with levity, but
with the seriousness it deserves.
“It is not the first time he has
written to a President. He has done so over the years and no sooner has the
letter been received than those that failed to heed it have themselves to
blame.
“But seriously speaking the
former President has performed his role as a former President and an elder
statesman. Such a person cannot be around and see things going wrong and keep
quiet.
“There will be nothing wrong for
the federal government to take his advice and do the proper thing.
“There was nothing personal in
the letter he wrote and he was merely writing to a friend and brother both in
the military and democracy. Both of them have come a long way so they owe
themselves only the truth and that is what President Obasanjo has done.
“He should be commended for the
courage as he was commended when he wrote in 2013. He should not be vilified.”
