ICHEOKU says for a man who once told the world of Nigerians that another man who has no First School Leaving Certificate was educated enough to be president, to suddenly now do an about turn and with boldface, complain to the same Nigerians that the man he helped make president is a complete failure who is not deserving of a second term, is completely ridiculous and ludicrous.
What an insult on the collective sensibilities of Nigerians unless Olusegun Obasanjo already sees Nigerians as a bunch of imbeciles who are incapable of processing thoughts, making inferable deductions and conducting analytical logic. Possibly too, he also believes that Nigerians are too dumb to catch him always speaking from the both sides of his mouth; and are afflicted with a short memory syndrome, which make them incapable of recollecting the immediate past. Hence they cannot remember nor recall the role which he personally played in engineering the election of President Muhammadu Buhari, whose presidency, he now describes as a failure. A matter made worse because he failed or rather refused to acknowledge his role in bringing it about and also failed to apologize for doing it. This is a presidency that portended failure right from the start, but Olusegun Obasanjo went ahead anyway to help foist it on Nigeria, regardless.
Olusegun Obasanjo, if he wants Nigerians to take his current prattling seriously, must first make a mea culpa for the damage which he inflicted on Nigerians with the election of President Muhammadu Buhari. He must apologize for his complicity in rehabilitating a nearly perpetual presidential reject, who failed on three previous tries, and putting such a proven mediocrity in Aso Rock. Thereafter, Obasanjo can regain his moral authority bona fides to address Nigerians on Buhari's alleged failed presidency; and the need to deny him an opportunity at a second term. But unfortunately, Obasanjo knows that he is addressing a motley crew, who like William Shakespeare's plebeians in Julius Caesar, only knows how to chorus AYE. Obasanjo also possibly believes that Nigerians lack the mental curiosity to question his motive or ask themselves what exactly in fact is actually driving the latest Obasanjo's "Buhari Must GO" pistons.
As between him, Babangida and Buhari, they have been in power all together for over 33 years of Nigeria's 55 years of existence and the country is in such a dire straits. This man, Olusegun Obasanjo is responsible for the most part; yet some pathetic Nigerians are still clamoring for him and listening to him for guidance about moving the country forward. Just ask yourself how possible is it that the very root cause of the country's retardation is capable of being the solution for a progressive trajectory of the same country which he helped destroy. Something definitely does not sound nor seem right with the picture, hence Nigerians must be wary of the current Olusegun Obasanjo's shenanigans. ICHEOKU says it is indeed highly regrettable that Nigerians are this gullible and infantile in their adoration and adulation of the man from Ota, the notorious Ota Deity. Fie Obasanjo.
