Why Obasanjo is angry with Jonathan – Muazu

The National chairman of People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) Adamu Mu’azu has attributed former president, Olusegun Obasanjo’s animosity towards the PDP and its presidential candidate, Dr Goodluck Jonathan to the former president failed bid to secure tenure extension in 2007.

The infamous agenda, tagged third term project was orchestrated to
secure tenure extension for Chief Obasanjo through an amendment of
the 1999 Constitution
The PDP national chairman in a statement made available to newsmen
in Abuja dismissed the former president as an aggrieved individual
smarting to take his pound of flesh from the ruling party which he
claimed opposed tenure extension for Obasanjo.

Muazu said:”The APC’s sickening shouts of Change has lost steam
and they have nothing else to shout about and this is the best time to
put them where they belong, in the dumps of defeat at the Opposition
benches across the country.

” The biggest surprise is the endorsement of the opposition by our
own former leader and former president whom we supported for eight
years and wanted more years to continue the leadership of Nigeria and
we refused to kill our Constitution to do so. Now he is a fanatic of
change.”

The PDP national chairman also expressed consternation over
Professor Wole Soyinka endorsement of the APC presidential
candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari.

“Our famous Nobel Laureate who has been in and out of jail houses
because of his opposition to military dictatorship is also singing the
change anthem.

“His best friend and towns man, the greatest musician this country has
ever produced must be shaking in his grave to learn what his friend
has done.”

Mu’azu expressed confidence that the ruling party would win the
forthcoming general elections, as he noted that the performance of
the party at all levels would sustain it in the minds of Nigerians.

“Let me assure all PDP faithful that victory is in sight and we must
pursue it with vigour until the last vote is counted; the freest and
fairest election result is announced and we are victorious.

“We are on the threshold of winning the 2015 general elections
because our opponents have been disoriented, their consistent
fabrication of lies to win the votes of Nigerians has been exposed and
their change mantra has lost steam.

“There is no sector in Nigeria that has not witnessed tremendous
transformation and change under the PDP government.

“The seed sown by the Jonathan administration in the area of
education has hit the most desired part of the country with the
establishment of the Almajiri schools which has already revolutionized
education in the north of Nigeria.
