Igbo youths warn Obasanjo against anti-Jonathan comments

The youth wing of the apex Igbo
socio-cultural organisation, the
Ohanaeze Ndigbo , has warned ex-
President Olusegun Obasanjo over
his reported remarks on President
Goodluck Jonathan.
Media reports had quoted Obasanjo
as saying that Jonathan shifted the
election dates because he was
afraid of defeat and that perhaps
the President had been listening to
aides telling him that he stands the
risk of being jailed for corruption
should the opposition All
Progressives Congress presidential
candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.) wins the poll.
The former President also alleged
that Jonathan was engaging in “the
do-or-die” politics played by the
former President of Cote d’Ivoire,
Laurent Gbagbo.
But the Ohanaeze Youth Council
warned Obasanjo to stop inciting
Nigerians against the President,
who, according to the group, “has
dwarfed the achievements of all
former Nigerian leaders.”
Speaking with our correspondent
in Umuahia, the Abia State capital,
the National President of OYC,
Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said
“Obasanjo should stop fanning the
embers of war through his
unguarded utterances against a
sitting President.”
Isiguzoro accused Obasanjo of
plotting, in connivance with some
undemocratic elements, to topple
Jonathan’s government through
inciting comments, warning that
any attempt to derail Nigeria’s
democracy would be resisted.
“Obasanjo is a disappointment to
democracy. He should not plunge
Nigeria into another civil war
through his hate remarks against
Jonathan,” he said.
Isiguzoro said Jonathan had “by all
standards proved to be a core
democrat, otherwise the likes of
Obasanjo should be cooling his feet
in the jail by now because of his
evil deeds while in office.”
The OYC leader said corruption was
institutionalised during Obasanjo’s
administration and wondered
when the former President
overnight turned into the vanguard
of democracy.
He said, “Obasanjo should know
that he has expired politically and
Nigerian youths cannot allow him
and other spent forces that belong
to the past to ruin our future.
“Nigeria cannot buy his belated and
selfish idea of Interim National
Government, and all those plotting
to put Nigeria backwards will be
disappointed because the youths
are now wiser.”
Isiguzoro further argued that “if
anyone should be afraid of going to
jail because of corruption and
illegality, it is Obasanjo who
superintended over the
destruction of Odi town while he
was in office.”
He said that President Jonathan
deserved the right to seek re-
election and should not be
deprived of that right by “members
of a self-serving cabal who think
that Nigeria is their private estate.”
