You know that
OBJ does not talk except he sees!!!
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo,
yesterday, raised alarm of a rumour that the Goodluck Jonathan
administration planned to hand over to the military if he loses in Saturday’s up-coming
presidential election!!! The former President warns that this would undermine
the integrity of Nigeria among the comity of nations. While hosting the South West women of the All
Progressives Congress led by Aisha Buhari, Obj says:
“I do hope we
will get things more right. A lot of rumours are flying around, I think we have
done away from the rumour of Interim Government because that is not in our
constitution. I hope we will soon go away from the rumour of handing over to
the military because the military is not meant to run affairs of a nation in
terms of running government.
“And the
intentional community will not condone it, particularly African Union where it
is part and parcel of the constituting act of the African Union, that any
government that is brought about, not on the basis of the constitution will not
be accepted, will not be tolerated and will not be a member of the AU until
that government is dismantled.
“It shouldn’t be
Nigeria, we are the largest country in Africa, we should be a model, setting
examples, we shouldn’t be drawing Africa backward, I hope we will not. I hope
at the end of this exercise, we would be where we should be, leading Africa and
showing examples for the rest of Africa and indeed the rest of the world.
“We have the
goodwill of many people, I watched, last night, President Obama talking about
our constitution, I watched our brother from Ghana, the current Chairman
of ECOWAS talked about our constitution, they are all interested, they all wish
us well, should we wish ourselves anything less?,” he said.
