Tinubu Is Head And Shoulders Above Obasanjo In Modern Politics – APC

The ruling All Progressives Congress has come out to say that it was not threatened by the weekend visit of Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and Donald Duke to the Ogun State home of Olusegun Obasanjo.

The National Publicity Director of the ruling APC, Bala Ibrahim recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the meeting is not a potential obstacle to the APC continuity because it is obvious to see how Tinubu’s political profile and relevance in contemporary politics has dwarfed the opposition figures and statesmen.

He added that even if he holds Obasanjo in high esteem, Tinubu is head and shoulders above him in modern politics.

His words, “With due respect, I hold Obasanjo in high esteem. As a former President, ex-Head of State, and an elder statesman, I don’t want to take issues with him. But when it comes to the politics of Nigeria, particularly contemporary politics, Tinubu is not their mate.

Tinubu is head and shoulders above them in modern politics in Nigeria. So the combination of Obasanjo, Kwankwaso, Peter Obi, and Donald Duke, who was my schoolmate, does not present a threat to Tinubu. These are people who were trashed in the last election.

This is not the first time Obasanjo is going to rally around someone, and that person is defeated. Remember, he supported (ex-President Goodluck) Jonathan, who later lost to Buhari. Obasanjo supported another candidate, Peter Obi, in the last election again and Tinubu trounced them.

So they can have marathon meetings and meet till the end of time, they will not present any threat to the government of APC. Who among Kwankwaso, Obasanjo, Obi, Duke was not beaten? If they are bringing angels, it’s a different story. But if it is these same spent forces that will combine and meet, their meeting cannot bring any good outcome.”

WOW.
