Obasanjo, PDP alliance can kill Nigeria – Ebute cries out

Former Senate President, Ameh Ebute, has raised alarm over the alleged
alliance between ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo and the leadership of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Ebute said the unholy union between Obasanjo and the leadership of the
PDP will fail because it cannot destroy the gains recorded by the
President Mohammadu Buhari led federal government in the last few
years.

The elder statesman, who is also the leader of the Congress for
Patriotic Citizens (CPC), at a press conference in Abuja, called on
Nigerians to rise to the challenge of confronting and subduing
unpatriotic, corrupt and selfish past political office holders in
order to save Nigeria from total collapse.

He said, “Other leaders of Nigeria since independence are not this
privileged or so blessed. So, if today any one of us finds reason to
complain that we are yet to nurture a nation we truly desire and to
the maturity our founding father’s dreamt,  a leader who should  take
the double blame is Chief Obasanjo. Why? Because leadership fell on
him at Nigeria’s most auspicious moments. But we saw nothing he did
wonderfully.”

He said the CPC finds it completely distasteful, the present gang-up
and conspiracy against Nigeria by the PDP and the former president.

He stated that : “We cannot understand Obasanjo anymore.  We do not
know what he implies when he accuses INEC of “recruiting collation
officers who are already awarding results based on their projects to
actualise the perpetuation agenda in which the people will not matter
and the votes will not count.

“There is no way Obasanjo can publicly announce his retirement in
politics  and sneak back through the back door  in any unholy alliance
with dark forces  to destroy Nigeria.

“Like Gen. Buba Marwa (rtd) did by rallying nearly 100 retired
Military Generals in support of President Buhari, we shall also
assemble all elder statesmen across the country to come to the rescue
of Nigeria, bearing in mind that selfish individuals like Obasanjo
or any political party or group of persons don’t own Nigeria.’’
