Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose has reacted to former President Olusegun Obasanjo\u2019s statement advising President Muhammadu Buhari not to contest the 2019 election.<\/div>\n

Fayose said the former president contributed to failure of Buhari\u2019s government. He stressed that Obasanjo has outlived his usefulness in Nigeria and should leave the scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cI agree with Obasanjo\u2019s letter even though he didn\u2019t say anything that I have not said about Buhari and his government.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, Obasanjo and Buhari are like the accuser & the accused; two of them are analogue and they do not represent the Nigeria of today.<\/p>\n

\u201cObasanjo (the accuser) and Buhari (the accused) are both expired people that Nigerians are desirous of getting rid of.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\u201cThey both don\u2019t know when they were born and have outlived their usefulness in the political life of Nigeria.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cContent of OBJ\u2019s letter is a welcome development but the messenger is also culpable in the enthronement and colossal failure of Buhari.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough 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,\u201d Fayose tweeted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

PDP reacts to Obasanjo\u2019s letter warning Buhari against seeking re-election<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has reacted to the letter by former President Olusegun Obasanjo that President Muhammadu Buhari should not seek a re-election in 2019.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

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).<\/p>\n

\n
\n
The party, however, rejected the call by Chief Obasanjo for a third force saying that such would amount to repeating the same blunder that brought in the ideologically vacuous APC and the Buhari Presidency which had now wrecked havoc on the nation in its almost three years of governance.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on Tuesday, said \u201cthe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the PDP, Chief Obasanjo\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\u201cThat is why our great party has now, more than ever before, become a center of the new patriotic and broad-based engagements by well-meaning Nigerians and coalitions across board, including past leaders, in rekindling our democratic process that places priority on returning power to the people.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\u201cWe therefore call on Nigerians, including all our leaders across board, to come together to rebuild our nation on PDP\u2019s consolidated base rather than traversing on another learning curve.\u201d – Daily Trust<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
