A Civil Society Organization, Campaign for Democracy (CD) on Sunday urged former President Olusegun Obasanjo to refrain from attempting to impose Presidential candidate on Nigerians, as the era of such imposition was gone. The advocacy group in a statement released by its Publicity Secretary, Ifeanyi Odili said Obasanjo who had served this country in various capacities at different times should leave the stage for the younger generation to determine the future of the nation.
He accused Obasanjo of being responsible for most of the problems confronting the country, stressing that the problems stemmed from forceful imposition.
“You will recall that soon after you could not achieve your third term agenda you foisted Umaru Yar’adua on Nigeria. Soon after the gentleman bowed to death, you again did all you could to give us Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
“You fought him to a standstill and he eventually lost his second term bid. Consequently, you came up with Muhammadu Buhari. Baba, today, Nigeria is in a mess. Any government that cannot guarantee the security of its people is like a salt that has lost its taste.
“Recently, you visited Baba Fasoranti of Afenifere in his Akure country home seeking his support to end Buhari’s government. Baba, your time is far spent. The market is over. It is time you should leave Nigeria and Nigerians alone.
“It is time you should go back to Ota farm, relax, enjoy your old age and wealth. If death comes knocking at your door and you answer it, will that be the end of this country? May God Almighty bless your old age. This we ask in faith and thanksgiving,” he said.
