Obasanjo, had in a 16-page statement, likened Buhari to the late military dictator, Gen Sani Abacha, over poor leadership and Impunity.
But at the APC rally, Tinubu described Obasanjo as an expired leader, who should not be trusted, adding that Obasanjo’s government was notorious for election rigging.
The APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, also lambasted Obasanjo, saying the ex-President was watching when the Peoples Democratic Party government was stealing funds meant for fighting Boko Haram.
The Director-General of Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Organisation and the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, recalled that when he was a governor in Rivers State, the Obasanjo’s government withdrew his security detail.
Obasanjo is an expired leader – Tinubu
Tinubu, who is the APC Campaign Co-Chairman, highlighted the barrage of attacks on Obasanjo, saying the ex-President should have retired to his farm in Ota and remained quiet.
He said, “It is unfortunate that expired leaders like Olusegun Obasanjo are ranting and lying. Don’t trust him. We are sweeping all the cobwebs of corruption away with broom out of Nigeria. Ota farm should be enough a retirement place for Obasanjo to keep quiet.
“Who among Nigerians will recall how the PDP government under Obasanjo was notorious for rigging elections? No government has upheld the tenets of democracy like the government of President Buhari. We asked for the recognition of June 12 from Obasanjo, he refused, but President Buhari as an honest man with integrity heard our cry and recognised June 12.
“Even if the forum of association of angry old men refuses to vote for Buhari, we will give him 95 per cent votes.”
Tinubu noted that four years ago the APC had promised to take the ship of Nigeria to the right direction. This, he said, the party had done.
Obasanjo is frustrated – Oshiomhole
APc chairman claimed that Obasanjo’s attack on Buhari was borne out of frustration.
He said, “The people writing epistle now watched how money meant for security was appropriated by not only the PDP but the generals. Under their watch, over 20 local government areas of Borno State were taken over by the Boko Haram terrorists before the coming of President Buhari.
“Today, no matter what they want to say, there is no local government where Boko Haram is hoisting its flag. All the 27 local government areas of Borno have been liberated by the APC government.”
Obasanjo’s govt drove me into exile, Amaechi says
Amaechi also said under the PDP government his security detail was withdrawn, while he was chased out of the country by Obasanjo.
Amaechi stated, “Sometime in 2006, I was driven out of this country by a PDP-led Federal Government. I went into exile in Ghana. I was in Ghana for 10 months. I was expelled from the party, the PDP until I became a governor. And when I became a governor, I told them I did not want to belong to the PDP again. They met me and apologised and readmitted me into the PDP.”
He urged Nigerians to compare the administration of the PDP with the current government of Buhari and decide which was closer to Abacha’s government.
“I was a governor in 2013, 2014, 2015. I had no security. A PDP-led government had chased my CSO and my ADC away. My ADC ran to London, my CSO was put in an underground cell. A major who was in my convoy was also put in an underground cell. I was left without security.”
PDP attacks Buhari for insulting Obasanjo
But the PDP on Monday attacked President Buhari for allegedly hauling insults on to respected leaders and elder statesmen, including Obasanjo.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement stated that in approving his media aide, Mallam Shehu Garba, to allegedly cast aspersions and insult on Obasanjo, Buhari was setting a very bad example to younger Nigerians.
He said, “Instead of attacking Obasanjo, President Buhari should have been sobered and retraced his steps in the interest of the corporate existence of our country which he is pushing to the precipice.”
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has attacked President Muhammadu Buhari, saying he is sick in the spirit, body and soul.
The elder statesman said this in an interview with BBC Yoruba.
Obasanjo said, “Buhari is sick in the spirit, body and soul. Let’s beg him to go and rest. He has tried his best. Let give chance to another person.
“When people ask me that what if the next person is not suitable, I tell them that is the beauty of democracy.”
