Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has asked Nigerians not to vote for presidential aspirants “lying” that some persons bought forms for them.

Ex-Vice-President Atiku Abubakar; former Senate President Bukola Saraki; Governor Aminu Tambuwal; former governor Peter Obi, are among the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirants, who have said nomination forms were bought for them.
Speaking in Lagos during a colloquium with the theme, “The African Christian Leadership:
Radical Transformation in Unsettled Times” to mark the 61st birthday of Pastor Itua Ighodalo, Obasanjo said Nigeria’s problem is entirely about leadership.

He said the constitution, which many have attributed Nigeria’s challenges to, was crafted by the military that gathered the best brains in the land at that time to draft it.

“Today, they are paying N40m. Some of them (aspirants) even said it is some youths who bought it for them. In fact anybody who would come out to tell you such a lie, you shouldn’t vote for him. Which youths gathered N40m? If you want to buy it, buy it and tell us. You don’t need to lie to us.”

The former President said the problems confronting Nigeria at the. moment can only be surmounted by good leadership, noting that Nigeria needed a change of leadership.
“If you say, ‘what is wrong with Nigeria’, leadership. If you say, ‘what do you have to do about Nigeria’, leadership. If you say, ‘where are we taking Nigeria? Leadership.’

He insisted that Nigeria can gather the best constitutions in the world, if those who would implement were not people with the right attitude and orientation, nothing can be achieved.

Nairaland space is wide enough for all to type their independent nonsense, you don't need to quote him before you stand on any worthless mandate.

Vite who you like no one stops you. You voting the Pandora Criminal does not stop him from being I diehard criminal who disguise as a saint. All the cork n bull that he as money before becoming a gov n for your Igbo tribe.

All that matters is that the Pandora Criminal Peter Obi never commuted a single naira to return democracy to Nigeria n does not deserve reward of the presidency for criminally looting Anambra beyond recognition.

Yes, Peter Obi Pandora will be president of Biafra after Nnamdi Kanu’s tenure.

This obsanjo seems to be very confused, or rather I think he's suffering from Alzheimer's disease due to his old age.

Wasn't he the one running up and down like a female dog on heat in 2019 and screaming out his lungs that we should vote for Atiku?

Now suddenly we shouldn't vote him again...baba abeg concentrate on your farm and stay away from Nigerian politics.

N

Old fool Ọbasanjọ


One of the biggest destroyer of this country of IBB...



On a norm and in a sane clime, senile rogues like him should be cooling off in a prison.

Keep crying OBJ, we will vote for any of them. Did you not lay the foundation of corruption the PDP government thrived on?

You are running your mouth because we stopped your Third Term ambition to keep pillaging on our national patrimony.

It's high time you restricted yourself to the care and massage of your newest bride than coming out to make a full of yourself.


You are always quick to condemn Atiku, the same soul that served with you for 8 years. You termed him corrupt, what are you?

Problem upon problem.

Tinubuadvocate:

Of course he won't come 5th because he will come 1st unlike your tinubu that won't be among the top three at the APC convention.
