Obasanjo Say’s Not Only Buhari, But Jonathan Too Should Forget Ambition To Be President Again

Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has poured cold water on talks of immediate past president Goodluck Jonathan’s plot to return as the nation’s number one citizen.

Obasanjo who warned Jonathan not to seek re election in an open letter titled “Before It Is Too Late”– before working with opposition to end his reign just issued a similar warning to incumbent and jonathan’s successor – President Muhammadu Buhari.

In a statement tittled “The Way Out: A Clarion Call for Coalition for Nigeria Movement”, Obasanjo urged president Buhari to go home and rest rather than seek re election.

But before Jonathan and his return to power promoters see the development as an answer to their prayers, Obasanjo chipped in for them

“…the unusual step of going against my own political Party, PDP, in the last general election to support the opposite side. I saw that action as the best option for Nigeria. As it has been revealed in the last three years or so, that decision and the subsequent collective decision of Nigerians to vote for a change was the right decision for the nation. For me, there was nothing personal, it was all in the best interest of Nigeria and, indeed, in the best interest of Africa and humanity at large. Even the horse rider then, with whom I maintain very cordial, happy and social relationship today has come to realise his mistakes and regretted it publicly and I admire his courage and forthrightness in this regard. He has a role to play on the side line for the good of Nigeria, Africa and humanity and I will see him as a partner in playing such a role nationally and internationally, but not as a horse rider in Nigeria again.”

The horse rider in the statement is Goodluck Jonathan while the horse is the Presidency.
