Fayose said the former president contributed to failure of Buhari’s government. He stressed that Obasanjo has outlived his usefulness in Nigeria and should leave the scene.
“I agree with Obasanjo’s letter even though he didn’t say anything that I have not said about Buhari and his government.
“However, Obasanjo and Buhari are like the accuser & the accused; two of them are analogue and they do not represent the Nigeria of today.
“Obasanjo (the accuser) and Buhari (the accused) are both expired people that Nigerians are desirous of getting rid of.
“Content of OBJ’s letter is a welcome development but the messenger is also culpable in the enthronement and colossal failure of Buhari.
“Though we warned them ahead of this tragedy. It is therefore the decision of Nigerians that Buhari has failed and he must go, not that of OBJ,” Fayose tweeted.
The former ruling party described the letter as courageous, timeous and patriotic, adding that such had vindicated its position on President Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on Tuesday, said “the fact that President Buhari and the APC had irredeemably failed our nation is obvious to all, adding that Nigerians have already taken an irrevocable position against them ahead of the 2019 elections.”
According to the PDP, Chief Obasanjo’s counsel had rekindled the fate of the people in the democratic process, stressing, however, that the solution does not lie in creating another political quicksand in a third force but consolidating on a rescue mission with the repositioned PDP which Nigerians have already embraced.
He said, “The PDP is now standing on a truly democratic ground that perfectly represents and reflects the hopes and aspirations of all Nigerians irrespective of their class, creed or tribe.
“The fact is that Nigerians overrated President Buhari in 2015 but they have now seen that he never possessed the capacity and the required aptitude to effectively govern our great nation and pilot a healthy economy.
“This accounts for the reason former President Obasanjo, just like most Nigerians today, are concerned about the quality of presidential candidates to be presented by various parties for the 2019 election.
“The fact is that while the APC is already caught up with President Buhari, the PDP is open for a new engagement that will throw up the President, which our nation truly deserves at this crucial moment.
