The Presidency has dismissed the
recent utterances by former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, as a sign of
confusion not worthy of attention.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja
on Wednesday, presidential Spokesperson, Garba Shehu, said that whoever
Obasanjo chooses to support at the 2019 elections is irrelevant.
He said the former president had
publicly changed his mind on the matter so many times over the past few months
alone.
“Former president, Obasanjo
denounces one person today and supports that same person the next day.
“When it pleases him, he brings
God into the matter and uses that as his excuse for whatever position he has
chosen,” he said.
Shehu added that he was not
surprised that newspapers reported Obasanjo expressing neutrality at a weekend
forum, only for the former president to express a completely different stance
after a day or two.
“We have learnt not to take his
utterances seriously anymore.
“We know that the slightest wind
can make him change his mind again. After all, this is the same man who
publicly tore his party registration card barely four years ago, and he now
claims to be backing the same party,” Shehu said.
