‘Go And Wait For Your Death In Ota,’ Group Blasts Obasanjo Over Buhari

A human rights group, the Campaign for Democracy (CD), on Sunday, slammed former President Olusegun Obasanjo for allegedly always trying to impose leaders on Nigerians.

The group accused Obasanjo of always wanting to dictate who stays or leaves power ever since he lost his alleged bid to get third term in office as Nigeria’s president.

Speaking through its national secretary, Ifeanyi Odili, the Campaign for Democracy urged the former president to end his ongoing campaign against President Buhari’s re-election in 2019 and return to his Ota Farm in Ogun State to wait until when “death comes knocking” on his door.

The group said, “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,” said the group.
