Revealed : 5 Solid Reasons Obasanjo Endorsed Peter Obi
Former president Olusegun Obasanjo is one of the frontiers of the “Obidient Movement” many Nigerian don’t know about. I am not surprised he endorsed Mr Peter Obi for the 2023 general election.
If Nigerians can remember, Obasanjo picked for Nigerians her best president so far in 2007 in the person of Late Musa Yara’dua. The former president has been there and understand the job and how the system works, more than any suitable person ready to speak against his recent endorsement of Peter Obi.
He (Obasanjo) has all tendencies to endorsed what would be like the best candidate for Nigerian in the next general election, owing to his level experience in the country’s seat of power for 8 years and with the Musa Yara’dua experience in 2007…………………………..Continue Reading
The formal president has nothing to loose or gain as long as Nigeria is concern. And for that reason, wouldn’t be bias in spotting a capable hand for Nigerians.
Here are 5 Solid Reasons Obasanjo Endorsed Peter Obi.
1). Credibility.
Remember when Obasanjo was in search of a successor in 2007, one of the reasons he picked Late Musa Yara’dua was his credibility and transparency. They was an Atiku and several others who were juggling to take over from him.
Solidly, Obasanjo may have looked critically beyond the three candidate and has found Peter Obi as one he can replicate the Yara’dua gesture on.
Deeply, if you and I will tell ourselves the truth, and imagine Nigeria is our personal business, who among the three candidate are we going to employ to manage the business? Assuming our business is “deadly” in need of a credible hand to manage.
2). Unification of Nigeria
If anyone has always spoken of unifying Nigeria and acted as one should be Obasanjo. Whoever has ever called himself a Unifier is only making a mere political statement.
Nigeria belongs to every single tribe in the country. A solid reason why Obasanjo may have found Peter Obi worthy could be another simple reason of giving the people of the South Eastern Nigeria the “Sense of Belonging”.
Remember he supported Goodluck Jonathan in 2011 election and you and I know how much this integrated the people of the niger delta into the “Nigeria Oneness”.
Obasanjo is spoiled into repeating this same with Peter Obi for the people of the South Eastern Nigeria and this is why he maybe a Unifier than any other so called Unifier. This is very right and honorable for a Senior man to do.
3. Fixing Of Nigeria
Fixing of Nigeria is a very delicate issue in 2023. Inability to do this in the next general election might mar the economic strength of the country in the future.
The former president isn’t ignorant of this fact. And as such, understands who is capable of fixing Nigeria once again irrespective of party affiliation, tribe or whatever disputable reason to support another candidate other than Pete Obi.
In 2023, Obasanjo has seen an economist capable of managing the ever increasing foreign debts incurred by the current administration and he is not relenting in supporting such a candidate.
Everything about Peter Obi’s campaign rallies around fixing Nigeria for Nigerian. He remains the only presidential candidate that has come out with strategic approach on ways to solve the country’s problem. And you expect Obasanjo not to support such candidate?
A man that has given his all to see Nigeria succeed. He would have opted for a different candidate, and has absolutely nothing to loose supporting the wrong candidate, but tons of Nigerians and unborn has.
4). Returning Nigeria Back to Nigerians.
No two ways about this. Obasanjo knows deeply that Nigeria has been hijacked by certain monopolistic individuals.
It’s only logical to understand that between PDP and APC resides the hands of blood sucking politicians that has sucked the country dry. Supporting either of the candidates of the two parties wouldn’t effect the necessary change in the country any time soon.
Don’t get this wrong, Labor Party are not saints but with them resides lesser devils that can be easily send to hellfire, compare to the other two parties that forms the pillars of the demonic foundation in Nigeria politics.
In other words, supportive a PDP candidate is equivalent to supporting an APC candidate because, a “Switch” will definitely occur after the election. But supporting a party like Labor party without the so called structure is like supporting the birth of a new Nigeria for Nigerian. Because, of the calibres of people who hungered for a working Nigeria. And that the former president isn’t accepting.
Obasanjo understands that Peter Obi is the only way to return Nigeria to the right thinking Nigerians.
5). Listening To Nigerians
After witnessing the EndSars that rocked nearly the entire country, many Nigerians, mostly the Nigeria youths publicly challenging elected office holders of their leadership credibility.
Pa. Obasanjo is very kind enough to have acted suitably with Nigeria youths who are clamoring for Peter Obi to become the next president of Nigeria.
A parable says: “When a child cries and keep pointing it hands to a particular direction, an adult should take a look at the direction, there is something spectacular about that direction.” (I may not write this very well, but the elders understand what I mean).
I think, Obasanjo has seen what some right thinking Nigeria youths has been pointing hands on and has come out publicly to support the course for a better Nigeria.
He has seen it in a manner that even if anyone climbs the tallest mountain, might not be able to see, feel and understand what will befall them for not voting and ensuring that Peter Obi wins the next general election.
Now, I leave you with this: “If Obasanjo was able to pick Late Musa Yara’dua that is agreeable the best president so far, then Obasanjo reserves the right to decide for Nigerians who becomes the next president”.
