Obasanjo Has Not Genuinely Repented Of His Disobedience - Taiwo Obasanjo Blasts Her Ex-Husband

While speaking in an exclusive interview with Daily Sun, the former wife of President Olusegun Obasanjo, Mrs. Taiwo Obasanjo, dismissed the new coalition against President Muhammadu Buhari, being engineered his her former husband, saying it would backfire. She also talked about Obasanjo’s letter to Buhari, the polity and others.

 

Here are excerpt from the chat:

 

 

I genuinely love Buhari as a father, but I am also not in support of him seeking re-election in 2019. It is unfortunate that Buhari is dealing with a problem that did not originate from him.  However, Obasanjo should not be the one writing letters all the time. He should not be the one forming a political coalition for Nigerians. I do not know why Nigerians cannot think. Whoever Obasanjo supports to emerge as President would also give us hell, because they would certainly clash. He would want to control that person and there would be problems between them.

 

The coalition is a scheme, which would backfire on him and I would tell you why. Instead of Obasanjo to start a political coalition, he should rather lead a coalition for genuine repentance for the nation. He has a strong God-given spiritual influence on this nation but if he continues with the coalition, there would be a big storm because he has offended God. He is over 80; so he should forget about any coalition and focus on bringing Nigeria back to God. God has given him more than enough grace to function as a leader and a father of the nation to lead the country to repentance.

 

Nigerians should not allow Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to give us any coalition. He is part of the problem in Nigeria, not Buhari. Nigerians all over the world should say a big “NO” to his leadership. He has failed God and he is the troubler of our nation and his family. Let other leaders and elders take over from him. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has not made peace with God. He has not genuinely repented of his disobedience.

 

Everyone has a God-given assignment. God has deposited too much authority in Obasanjo to liberate Nigeria because the country is under serious affliction. Buhari is honest, but he is overwhelmed because there is a spiritual governing power that is subjecting the nation to hardship and problems.

 

Other countries are prospering. Are you saying there is no demonic powers in them? Do we need prayers before we pay civil servants their salaries or to build infrastructure? Don’t you think our problem is that of incompetence?

 

A nation can be destroyed or liberated on account of one person. God has revealed the problems caused by Obasanjo and he knows that he has done a number of things wrong. God has also given him the solution to the problems. Even if we elect one million leaders, we would still have problems, unless we do what God wants us to do. Buhari didn’t start the problems of Nigeria.

 

A man can mean well for this nation, but forces beyond his control would not allow him function. Obasanjo should not even be a part of that coalition. He should leave Nigerians to elect its own leader because he is not doing the right thing.  He was president for eight years and he even wanted a third term.

 

Obasanjo should have built a solid, glorious and powerful foundation for other leaders coming behind him to work on. He should have turned Nigeria into Dubai, turned the Niger Delta into a beautiful city. He should have greatly industrialised our economy, should have built networks of roads all over the nation, should have given us 4th and 5th mainland bridges in Lagos and ring roads of overhead bridges for easy access and exit in Lagos.

 

He should have given us bigger, better airport,  should have given us electricity 24 hours non-stop with cheap tariff, like it is being done in Germany, where they beg their people to use energy at cheap price. He should have given us ultra modern and fast railway transportation, mechanised farming everywhere with good access roads for the farmers. He should have built biggest ranches for the herdsmen long before now, with railway transportation connected to the ranches for ease of bringing the cows down to the city etc. Obasanjo should retire from directing the affairs of our land

 

 

It’s a lie, he wanted a third term. Everyone knows that he wanted a third term but God aborted it. Let me illustrate my point using Oshodi, in Lagos, as an example. Oshodi used to be a den of robbers, but when former Governor Babatunde Fashola came, he cleared the place; now, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is improving on what Fashola did and is upgrading that place. If Obasanjo had given us good infrastructure, like roads, 24-hour power supply, railway and other infrastructure during his eight-year tenure, Buhari would not be having these problems. It would then have been easier for Buhari to improve upon what Obasanjo did if he had left a powerful structure on ground. He has been all over the world and seen the best places. He had the opportunity to make Nigeria an industrial nation, but he didn’t do that; so he does not have the moral right to start forming any coalition.  Forming a coalition is hypocritical.
