Dr Maxwell Ogar, President of the Patriotic Youth Front of Nigeria (PYFN) has told former President Olusegun Obasanjo that he is unfit to advise the Nigerian youth on whom to vote for in February 25 presidential election.
Dr Ogar stated this while reacting to Obasanjo’s recent imposition of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as his preferred choice for the Nigerian youth.
A statement partly reads, “Obasanjo’s hands are stained with innocent blood, which makes him unfit to advise the youth.
The group described the former president as “a habitual rabble-rouser and the precursor of Nigeria’s ongoing challenges – socio-economic, security, and political” who is attempting to rewrite history and beatify himself “as the hero of Nigeria’s eventual triumph when in reality the former president symbolizes everything that ails our dear nation.”
It maintained that “Obasanjo’s endorsement of Peter Obi is rather a disservice to the upcoming national politician instead of being a boost because there is ample evidence that whatever this erstwhile civilian dictator lays his hands upon turns to dust.
“His endorsement of the Obidient brand has consequently doomed the Peter Obi candidacy as Obasanjo’s track record of satanic evil will haunt the LP candidate’s presidential bid.”
“We find it necessary to call out former President Obasanjo for his devious double standard and attempt to scam Nigerians as to his true identity.
“The same Obasanjo, who ceremonially shredded his People’s Democratic Party (PDP) membership card as he swore off politics, has now appointed himself the Labour Party’s chief marketer.
“In his characteristic double-faced penchant, he has joined the political fray while masquerading as an elder statesman whereas the saying in 2 Peter 2:22 “Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud,” is true,” it stated.
It recalled that the massacre of defenseless civilians in Odi, Bayelsa State, and Zaki- Biam, Benue State during Obasanjo’s regime, the group insisted that the former president’s hands are stained with innocent blood which makes him unfit to guide the Nigerian youth.
PYFN advised Obasanjo to first wash his hands clean of the blood of the innocent before attempting to teach the youth how to elect their leaders.
“For Peter Obi, we advise that he should seek and learn from a humane mentor before returning to attempt to be Nigeria’s president as the man he currently holds as his mentor does not have any electoral value”.
Recall that the ex-president in an open letter to young Nigerians on Sunday urged the youths to vote for Peter Obi whom he described as his “mentee.”
