Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Wednesday asked
the people of the South East geopolitical zone to vote out
President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 general elections “in their
own interest.”
Speaking at a meeting of the Coalition of Nigerian Moment in
Awka, Anambra State, Obasanjo said the Igbo would be the most
beneficiary in Buhari’s ouster.
He asked the Igbo not to believe the promise that the Igbo would
produce the President in 2023, describing it as “a grand deceit and
evil machination.”
Speaking through the South East convener of CNM, Dr. Okey Nwosu,
the ex-president asked the people of the zone to “collectively work
with the CNM towards ousting Buhari from office in the 2019 general
elections..
He accused the All Progressives Congress government of
perpetrating “carnage and wanton destruction of lives and property
across the country.”
He said, “The meeting is a wake-up call for Nd’Igbo to dump APC
and collaborate with CNM, which is the best alternative for their
rescue from poverty, hunger, recklessness and ethnic cleansing in
the hands of the Hausa/Fulani marauders.
“Every Nigerian leader is very much embarrassed with the state
of the nation where people are attacked, killed, raped and made
refuges in their own homes.
“Political leaders must advocate action against these senseless
killings and seek how to design a new democratic action plan to
ensure we take care of this conundrum democratically, and say,
‘Enough is enough.’
“If unchecked, these unethical activities will lead to the
destruction of the country. It does not augur well for Nigeria’s
development.”
He said the objective of CNM was mostly on how to “sack Buhari
from Aso Rock in 2019 and ensure that a visionary government is
elected.”
He added, “Nigeria’s eminent personalities, including Generals
Yakubu Gowon, Ibrahim Babangida and T.Y. Danjuma have all spoken
and condemned the killings and destruction in the country.
“If these people can say that the nation needs to be saved from
these calamities, the South-East geo-political zone must add their
voice to the clarion call.”
He said the CNM had mobilised no fewer than five million
Nigerians to realise its objectives in 2019.
