President Jonathan has said Obasanjo is still is father despite his criticisms towards him. Speaking to Tribune editors he said
First and foremost, Obasanjo is a father to me. By divine providence and the grace of God, I am the President of Nigeria today. It is not by my strength. But God uses human beings to actualise His own blessings on human beings. And He used so many Nigerians, including former President Obasanjo, to play one role or the other for me. (Continue)
“I became the deputy governor of a state, became the governor, the vice president and president. I have no issues with him, and I really don’t want to join issues with President Obasanjo. I think it is not necessary.”
“But I will use this opportunity, because you asked, to just plead with my father that he is a leader, a former president of the country. He has led the country more than anybody — eight years of democratic governance and almost four years of military governance. No other person has that kind of record.
“So, actions and inactions, or utterances, should be guarded so that we don’t expose our country to the international community as if it is a country in danger, a country that is about to collapse. You are frightening investors, especially those who invest hot cash, to pull out their money from the country and that would affect the stock market and it would affect the economy.
“For one reason or the other, Obasanjo may disagree with me as his first political son. You can even disagree with your own biological children, as a human being, not to talk of disagreeing with your political children. So, he can agree or disagree with me, but the utterances have to be managed in a way that it does not affect the economy and security of this country.”
You can't plead the father to stop guiding you. He will continue to give his fatherly adivce
ReplyDeleteAbi o, when gej was riding on the false hope of ppl like asari dokubo and calling obj a tout, he didn't know that obj was his father....election don reach and his popularity is dipping now he knows that obj is his father....nonsense

ReplyDeleteMe too, I respect Obj just too much and wish he ddnt ve to bring himself so low with this public utterances. U act like gej is your son, which father tries to embarrass his son without a one on one conversation with him since he claims he loves Nigeria too much to ignore.
ReplyDeleteWell what do u expect from a man whose biological son can come out to say my father slept with my wife even tho his father is such a public and respectable figure
Now you see why i love GEJ? Obasanjo you feel tearing your membership card does not still make you irrelevant in PDP? Just coz GEJ has refused to dance to your tune and you wish to make his continuity and failed one? well think of something else coz he will still win again and you will bury your bald head in shame
