Securing a second term in power is no longer a right - Obasanjo

Former President Obasanjo says the outcome of the recent Presidential election in Nigeria has proved to African leaders that securing a second term in office 'is no longer a right.'

He said this at a press conference organized as part of events to mark African Day in Berlin Germany yesterday. According to Obasanjo, Nigeria has gotten it right this time around with this election.
"The peoples wish prevailed. I am proud to say it here that Nigeria got it right this time around. The elections may not have been perfect, but it was a reflection of the people’s wish. Even where there were manipulations, it did not affect the results.
Attempts to rig did not yield any positive results. I think with what happened, people will no longer be eager to manipulate elections. When we started PDP many people thought and even voiced it, that the party will rule forever, but look at it today. It is only 16 years down the road and the PDP is already an opposition party” he said.

  20. WHO IS THIS OLD FOOL DECEIVING?

    MONEY LAUNDERING IS A CRIME.

    OBASANJO FOUNDATION WAS BEING USED FOR MONEY LAUNDERING BY OBASANJO. THE WOMAN THAT WAS EXPOSED WAS WORKING ON BEHALF OF CROOKED, CORRUPT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO.

    HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF, BUT HE WONT BECAUSE HE STILL THINKS NIGERIANS ARE FOOLS.

    THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN NIGERIA IS CORRUPTION AND OBASANJO IS AMONG THOSE AT THE HELM OF IT. HE KICKED AGAINST PRESIDENT JONATHAN BECAUSE JONATHAN WON'T TAKE OTHERS FROM OBASANJO. OBASANJO IS WORSE THAN A THIEF. HE DOES FAR MORE DAMAGE TO NIGERIA THAN ALL THE ARMED ROBBERS IN THE COUNTRY.

    OBASANJO IS A SPECIALIST AT HELPING CORRUPT MONEY FROM NIGERIA AND AFRICA TO BE LAUNDERED OVERSEAS.

    OBASANJO HAS NO RIGHT TO SPEAK ON ANY ISSUE IN NIGERIA BECAUSE HE IS A DISGRACE TO THE BLACK RACE. OBASANJO IS ONE OF THE MOST CROOKED AND CORRUPT BLACK PEOPLE ON EARTH. HE IS A ROTTEN, EVIL AND SHAMELESS CREATURE.

    I PRAY THAT MUHAMMADU BUHARI IS NOT MISLED OR TARNISHED BY OLUSEGUN OBASANJO. BUHARI DOES NOT NEED OBASANJO. BUHARI NEEDS TO DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM OBASANJO OR OBASANJO WILL START BEING A NUISANCE AND EMBARK ON ANOTHER LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN.

    BUHARI, PLEASE. STAY FAR AWAY FROM OBASANJO BECAUSE WE DONT WANT HIM OR BOLA TINUBU OR AMAECHI TO TARNISH YOUR IMAGE OR RUIN THINGS FOR YOU, PLEASE. RUN AWAY FROM THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE CROOKED AND VERY SCANDALOUS.

  28. Leadership is by example not by preaching.This man set a very bad example when he was in power by angling for a third term in violation of the country's constitution.He should just keep quiet instead but he has started his inter-meddling activities again, always meddling in every government.
    He imposed incapable people on Nigerians and made a complete waste of 16 whole years out of the life of yhis country.

  29. This man is shameless, after his failed bid for third term, he still has mouth to talk, So baba agbalagba, you know that they didn't get it right when they re-elected you? Do your self some good, organize your home before you die and keep your mouth shut for a second. No matter what you do, an average Nigerian believes that you're among the blood suckers who sucked Nigeria dry and put it in this condition. Buhari should avoid you like a plague if he wants to succeed,because all these your busy body attitude is to sneak yourself back into power.
