A member of the All-Progressive Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, Mr. Alex Eyengho, has waved off former President Olusegun Obasanjo endorsement of Labour Party’s Peter Obi, as a futile and valueless exercise.
Eyengho, who is also Deputy Director of the Media & Communication Committee of the Delta State APC Gubernatorial Campaign Council, said Obasanjo has no electoral value as “he almost always lost his unit to other political parties. That shows how serious or unserious he is taken by his people.”
He traced the former president’s opposition to the APC’s candidate to fear, envy of Asiwaju Tinubu’s sterling performance, stressing that he is afraid that Tinubu’s achievement as a president would easily eclipse his tenure and expose him as a failure.
He recalled Obasanjo’s similar attacks and deprivation of Lagos State under Asiwaju Tinubu because he wanted to halt the state’s progress, that in spite of all his antics Lagos thrived under BAT.
He said the latest antic of the former president was not giving anybody in the party sleepless night, stressing that even when Obasanjo supported Obi and Atiku in 2019, they still lost to President Buhari.
He said Obasanjo would always support candidates whose record would not expose the shortcomings of his eight-year stint from 1999 to 2007.
“Obasanjo attempted a 3rd term in office but failed woefully because Nigerians rejected him! He never supported Jonathan in 2015 because he was envious that Jonathan may surpass his record as Nigeria’s longest-serving democratically elected President.
“We all remember how OBJ and others in PDP ensured that Jonathan failed to secure his second tenure in office because of the envious activities of characters like OBJ.
“Obasanjo knows that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is destined to win the February 25, 2023, Presidential election with the certainty of being the best democratically elected President in Nigeria in terms of performance, unprecedented innovations, participatory leadership, infrastructural revolution, economy-boosting and making Nigeria the best country in Africa and one of the best in the world.”
“This is why he is against Tinubu!”
