He insisted that the Peter Obi is the needed needle and thread the country needs.
Obasanjo urged the youths to be intentional about the 2023 elections and defend their votes.
However, Reno, a Peoples Democratic Party stalwart, stated that Obasanjo is simply a good hearted man who is trying to heal the wounds from the 1966 civil war.
He noted that the former President also wanted former Rivers State Governor, Peter Odili to become Vice President in 2007 but the late Yar’Adua insisted on Goodluck Jonathan.
According to him, “President Obasanjo is a good-hearted man. He has always wanted a President from the SE[South East] or close to the SE[South East]as a way to heal the Civil War wounds.
“In 2007, he wanted Peter Odili, but Yar’adua insisted on Governor Jonathan as VP. What Obj [Obasanjo]did won’t affect the election!”
Fani-Kayode Mocks Obasanjo Over Peter Obi’s Endorsement
Former Minister of Aviation and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Femi Fani-Kayode, has mocked former President Olusegun Obasanjo, over the endorsement of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Obasanjo, in a New Year message titled “My Appeal to all Nigerians, particularly young Nigerians”, endorsed Obi to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
The former Nigerian leader described Peter Obi as a needle with thread attached to it from North and South and he may not get lost.
Reacting to this, Fani Kayode in a post shared on Twitter today (Sunday), acknowledged Obasanjo as the father of everyone and will always respect him.
According to the APC chieftain, Obasanjo’s endorsement of Peter Obi is not only inexplicable but also an excise in futility.
Fani Kayode added that it is the turn of the former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, to become president and nothing can change it.
He wrote: “OBJ remains a father to us all & I will always respect him. Despite that I reserve the right to disagree with him when & where necessary. His endorsement of @PeterObi is not only inexplicable but also an exercise in futility. It is @officialABAT’s time: nothing can change that.”
