That sounds like an herculean task. The last time I checked elder statesman, Olusegun Obasanjo would do no such thing. And if he does, well…miracles happen everywhere

Minister of Niger Delta, Dr. Stephen Oru has implored former President Olusegun Obasanjo to apologise to Nigerians and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for his attitude towards President Goodluck Jonathan.

Oru maintained that Obasanjo who has an unfettered access to the President and could have raised his objections in a more civil way.

“With all these privileges of life and opportunities, one would have not expected that Chief Olusegun Obasanjo for whatever reason use various means at his disposal to disparage the person and office of President Goodluck Jonathan.

“He treated the party that provided the platform and support that threw him up from his lowest state of life to the enviable position of authority as the President of Nigeria, a position which he utilised to become international icon in such a disdainful manner.

“One would have expected him to tow the line of other respected former Presidents and vice Presidents of this great country, like former President Gowon, Shagari, Babangida, Abdulsalami and Ekwueme, who have humbled themselves in quietude and who utilizes the formal and informal structures to advice the government of the day on how to move the nation forward from time to time.”

“I would rather state that he is our leader, he deserves some respect. He has the freedom of speech and association. He has not treated the PDP, the office of Mr. President and Nigerians fairly. He still has the time to make amends and retrace his footsteps.” He concluded
