OBASANJO BLOWS HOT, MOBILISES 7 GOVERNORS, 20 SENATORS, OTHERS…To Kick-Start The Process Of Buhari’s Immediate Removal

Report indicates that ex-President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has begun the process of plotting the removal of President Muhammadu Buhari, in 2019.

The former President is mobilising politicians and other Nigerians to sign on to his Coalition for Nigeria project, to oust Buhari from office.

The Governors, Senators, among others, have keyed in into Obasanjo’s elaborate plan for a mass movement against the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

Recall, that on Tuesday, the former President issued a scathing public commentary on the Buhari administration, advising the President to take a “deserved rest”, and urging Nigerians to vote him out, should Buhari insist on running again.

Sources revealed that Obasanjo repeatedly discussed his concerns with Buhari, and then decided to go public after he noticed no improvement in the way the country is governed.

Frustrated by the worsening political and security situation of the country, Obasanjo spent the last few months consulting key Political Leaders in the country.

However, Aides and Associates of the former President, stated that he had actually begun expressing his misgivings about the Buhari administration from late last year, and shared his feelings with Political Associates and some Elder Statesmen.

Obasanjo has held meetings with former Nigerian Leaders, serving Governors, Lawmakers, and other key Leaders across the country, before arriving at the decision.

“At the last count, 7 Governors, 20 Senators, and over 100 House of Representatives Members, have agreed in principle with Baba to go into this coalition”, a close Associate of the former President revealed.

The personalities have chosen to remain in the shadows for now, but have signalled their intention to move into what is envisioned to be a mega-coalition at some time.

On his return to Nigeria from Oxford, Obasanjo commenced work in earnest on the press statement.

He shared a draft with a few close Aides and some of his children, to get their comments.

The former President was said to have made final edits on the document on the flight to and from Liberia, for the inauguration of President George Weah.

“Very early in the morning of Tuesday, Obasanjo called a meeting of about eight of his close Aides and Associates, to finalise the document and what to do with it”, a source familiar with what transpired said.

Some of the former President’s children were said to have cautioned him about his personal security, considering the tone of the letter.

“Baba (Obasanjo) however, told them that was the least of his concerns. He told them that he considers himself to be living on extra-time, and was ready to pay whatever price for this country”, the source explained.
