President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, portrayed previous President Olusegun Obasanjo's assaults on him as the result of his inability to surrender his organization to the previous pioneer.
Reacting to the tirades of the previous president a week ago, President Jonathan said Obasanjo was so determined to controlling his protégées that he would not see any problems with introducing the villain in force so long as he can control him.
In the mean time, it was found out at the weekend that the Presidency and the Peoples Democracy Party, PDP, have chosen to force back from prior arrangements to endorse Obasanjo over his apparent against gathering exercises. Also, there were evidences that Obasanjo's backing among some northern governors, who conceded to him previously, may be melting away. One serving northern representative in the PDP known as an Obasanjo partner, weekend, excoriated the previous president for go too far in his assaults on the president and gathering.
Jonathan and Obasanjo
Jonathan and Obasanjo
Tending to columnists, yesterday, in Abuja, Director, Media and Publicity of PDP Presidential Campaign Organization, Chief Femi Fani- Kayode focused on that not long after Jonathan won the 2011 races, the previous president took a stab at everything conceivable to control and teleguide him, including that he asked the President to do various things that were just wrong and unsuitable to an administration with arrangements for the individuals.
Why Obasanjo is assaulting Jonathan
He said: "After Jonathan came to power, Obasanjo attempted to control and teleguide him, as well as he additionally solicited him to do a number from things that were essentially wrong and unsatisfactory. It is for President Goodluck Jonathan himself to unveil those things and I am certain that he will do as such at the proper time.
"Obviously President Jonathan declined to be teleguided and advised what to do however at all times he demonstrated Obasanjo greatest appreciation and concurred him all the benefits, access and obligings that are because of a previous Head of State and a father and guide. This kept on being the situation even after Obasanjo reliably endeavored to undermine his legislature and mocking his endeavors.
"Yet President Obasanjo couldn't be pacified and was not fulfilled. The extent that he was concerned, he should either control Jonathan or Jonathan needed to go. That is the reason he chose to furtively help the APC and turned into their 'pilot in boss'. He was dead set to draw the entire house down instead of permit Jonathan to come back to power. This is essentially in light of the fact that he accepts that on the off chance that he can't control somebody, that individual must be obliterated. Control and mastery is a fixation for Obasanjo. That is what really matters. He is readied to put even the demon in force gave he can control him," Fani-Kayode, who likewise served President Obasanjo as a senior unique associate (open correspondence) and later Aviation Minister said.
Authentic vote based system
"Obasanjo does not need authentic vote based system. He just professes to need it. What he needs is control and a chump in force. It doesn't make a difference what kind of government it is the length of he controls it and it is going by his manikin. It can be a military government, a regular citizen one, a just one, a break government or a legislature of National Unity. To Obasanjo, it doesn't make a difference the length of he can control it. That is his goal. That is the reason he abhors Jonathan so much and that is the reason he wishes to stop him at all expense.
"How everything adds up is this: President Obasanjo's grouse with President Jonathan is close to home and it has nothing to do with Nigeria. He ought to let Nigeria well enough alone and let all of us be. On the off chance that he has an individual score to settle with Jonathan, he ought not do as such to the detriment of the peace and solidness of Nigeria.
"On the off chance that he needs to stop Jonathan, then give him a chance to endeavor to do as such through the law based methodology and through the polling station and not through foul and unlawful means. We said it before and we will say it once more: Gone are the days that any president can be teleguided and controlled in light of the fact that we have all become an adult.
"President Olusegun Obasanjo's charges are not kidding and grave. They are additionally rash. He has raised issues and made affirmations that are fit for crashing our vote based system and making disarray in the area. It is key that we consider his thought processes in this most recent upheaval and his certifications as a pioneer and a senior statesman.
"The fact of the matter is that he realizes that President Goodluck Jonathan will win one month from now's presidential race and that is the reason he needs to demolish the believability of the entire process right from the beginning.
"What he is attempting to say in his most recent commitment is that if President Jonathan wins, then the race must have been fixed right from the start. This is wrong as well as unreasonable and uncharitable. On the off chance that President Obasanjo has any confirmation to demonstrate his weighty assertions, he should present it before the Council of State and take it up there.
"He ought to likewise answer to INEC itself and present the information of whatever evil arrangement he accepts that President Jonathan needs to stay in force 'by snare or by hoodlum' to them. He ought to tell INEC whatever it is that Jonathan is doing with the end goal him should stay in force by all methods and he ought to provide for all of them the points of interest. That ought to be the beginning stage."
Deferment of surveys
Attesting that the deferment of the race was not a sufficient purpose behind Obasanjo to parody Jonathan given that surveys have been put off previously, the president's fight picture producer blamed the correlation in the middle of Jonathan and previous Ivorian president, Laurent Gbagbo.
He said: "President Obasanjo talked about President Laurent Gbagbo and he guaranteed that President Jonathan was endeavoring to do a Gbagbo in Nigeria. The inquiry that must be put to him is this: "Who got Gbagbo out?" Was it not Jonathan's legislature that assumed a key part in guaranteeing that majority rules system was completely settled in the Ivory Coast and did he not assume a key part in guaranteeing that the Gbagbo 'stay in force perpetually arrange' did not work? On the off chance that anybody questions this, they ought to solicit President Alhassan Outtara from Cote D'Ivoire the part that Jonathan and Nigeria played in serving to restore vote based system and soundness over to his nation.
"They ought to additionally figure out the part that previous President Obasanjo played in endeavoring to keep President Laurent Gbagbo in force no matter what and the profound kinship that exists between the two men. It is a matter of truth and open record that when he was President of Nigeria, Obasanjo, maybe more than some other African Head of State except for President Jacob Zuma of South Africa, propped up and upheld President Gbagbo and it is an incongruity of destiny and history that he is currently censuring the activities of his old companion and blaming others for attempting to copy him.
"Again it is unexpected that President Obasanjo has blamed President Jonathan for having a stupendous arrangement to stay in force at all expense and by all methods yet it is the same Obasanjo that attempted to stay in force for a third term despite the fact that the Nigerian constitution particularly disallowed it. He attempted everything he could to change the constitution yet the entire thing fizzled and he was forced to leave power.
"We keep on holding Obasanjo in high regard yet his late activities and articulations are past the pale. He has been uncalled for to Jonathan, to Nigeria and even to himself. Above all the times of threatening others with his unforgiving words and domineering impact are long over. Obasanjo is not God. Just God will be God and only he decides the fortunes of men and the fate of countries."
Will of the individuals
Fani-Kayode proceeded with: "We earnestly trust that Obasanjo admires the gravity of what he is endeavoring to do and we should keep on asking that God will direct him and convey him from whatever it is that makes him need to pulverize every one of those that affection him the most. No matter what, majority rules system now stay in Nigeria and the will of the Nigerian individuals will be carried out in one month from now's presidential races and from that point. We accept that it is God's arrangement and not in any case one million Obasanjos can stop it."
PDP retreats
Then, the administration and the PDP may have selected not to handle Obasanjo on the advancement and moved back arrangements to authorize the previous pioneer on his late exercises.
"The position is that the gathering would not like to turn out through and through to make a move on Obasanjo so as not to high temperature up the framework further. We accept that with time he would see the need to quit assaulting Jonathan," a gathering authority said the previous evening in Abuja.
This is impending as a Northern representative, who is near to previous President Obasanjo, has portrayed him as failing to possess the fair accreditations to assault Jonathan on the issue of majority rule government.
The representative, who argued obscurity, brought up that Obasanjo made more undemocratic moves to disappoint his rivals, including his Vice, Atiku Abubakar, in the 2003 Presidential decision.
The representative, who is working nearly with Jonathan to convey his agrarian state to the PDP, brought up that Obasanjo ought not claim to be more equitable than Jonathan since he planned a mischievous third term offer to the impairment of Nigerian majority rules system.
"The senator said: "Nigerians ought to be careful about Obasanjo, who needs to wash his picture as the father of cutting edge majority rules system in Nigeria. They ought not overlook in a hustle that the previous president never even needed to leave office following eight years in the seat
