Taiwo, ex-wife of former Nigeria president,
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has said that God will truncate President Muhammadu
Buhari’s re-election bid because the country needs “fresh hands”.
In an interview with Punch, Taiwo
stated that just as God aborted the third-term plan of her former husband, he
would do it again with Buhari.
She also called on whoever will
come in, to treat Nigerians well and remove hardship.
When asked if she thinks Buhari
should not recontest, she said: “God forbid. I’m saying it loud and clear
without fear. He should just go back to Katsina. I’m praying to God that as He
(God) aborted the third term plan of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, God should also
abort his re-election bid for 2019.
“I respect the two of them, but
they should stay out of power. Whoever is coming should be someone who would
treat us well and remove the hardship. As a president, you are like an
executive prisoner because you don’t see what is happening.
“Chief Obasanjo is now out of
office, so his eyes are wide open now. I love President Buhari, but I don’t
want him to contest. When he goes back to Katsina, I would love to go with my
children and grandchildren to visit him in Daura.
“In a nation of over 150 million
people, both of them have ruled under two different dispensations, and I think
the electoral process should be reviewed so that we would have only one term,
because it’s enough for anyone who has a plan. Chief Lateef Jakande spent only
one term in office as governor of Lagos State, but look at the wonders he
performed. So, anyone that cannot do it in one term should leave peacefully. We
need fresh hands and we need to abolish this do or die mentality.
“I’m not a hypocrite. I love him
and I don’t want people to be insulting him, but I don’t want him again. We
need a fresh person that can be corrected, a unifying figure who is not
divisive or tribalistic. God has been very good to President Buhari; he was a
Petroleum Minister, military Head of State and now he’s the incumbent
President. He should not be in the league of those desperate to do a second
term at all cost because I want him to be another Nelson Mandela; to leave an
enduring legacy of love, unity, humility, forgiveness and selflessness that
succeeding generations can learn from. I also have an advice for the government
as regards the herdsmen and Boko Haram crises;
“I feel they should look for the
sponsors and call them into a dialogue. Nigeria needs peace. Specifically on
the herdsmen crisis, I believe modern ranching presents an investment
opportunity and a way out of the crisis.”
