Obasanjo behind Obi/Datti movement, wanted to draft me but I refused – Bwala
The spokesperson for the Atiku, Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation, Daniel Bwala has claimed that former president Olusegun Obasanjo is behind the coupling together of the Obi/Datti movement. He said the former President had wanted to draft him into the movement but he refused.
This is coming after Obasanjo endorsed Peter Obi to be president in the forthcoming polls.
Bwala made the statement on Thursday while featuring on the Arise Television Morning Show programme.
However, Bwala said he did not join the Labour Party because he thought it could not defeat his former party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He said; “Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president and elder statesman, is someone that I respect very dearly. And I felt that was wrong because if you look at the content of the letter, he did not disclose the fact that he is the one behind the coupling together of the Obi/Datti movement. I know as a person because five months ago, he contacted me and wanted to draft me into the movement but respectfully I did not go, because I did not think that if I left APC because of the same free thinking that I want to ensure APC does not win, I should join a party that I don’t think to have a realistic chance of defeating APC.”
Either Obasanjo endorse obior not, obi can’t even come as a third in the poll.
That’s the issue, everyone with his or own agenda
Everybody entitle to his or her own opinion but as an elderly state man, he shouldn’t have endorse anyone
I hope you too are not greedy with your ambition because with what you said I smell rat
Wether he endorse them or not, may Almighty God leads us through
that is too bad for you……
