Ex-Nigerian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is scheduled to host a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae as part of strategies for the 2019 general elections.
Don’t forget that the duo once contested against each other in the 1999 presidential election when Nigeria returned to democracy. However, Obasanjo won that election.
According to a source, who is privy to the meeting, said since Buhari had ignored all warnings by Obasanjo and other ex-generals not to seek a second term for the sake of the country, many of such political meetings would be taking place.
The source said, “It is obvious that Buhari has failed in his three years in office. He spent about four months of 2017 in the United Kingdom on health grounds and still wants to run for a second term for selfish reasons.
“He has failed to improve the lives of Nigerians but continues to give excuses for his own failings. He has also refused to endorse a younger person to succeed him.
“We have thus decided to set the plan in motion for his ouster through the ballot. Obasanjo will meet Chief Olu Falae with a view to uniting the third force and repentant politicians from the APC and the PDP are welcome to join.”
When contacted, the Personal Assistant to Chief Olu Falae, Capt. Moshood Raji (retd.), confirmed the scheduled meeting with Obasanjo.
He, however, said the meeting was a private one and would therefore not disclose its agenda.
Raji said, “It is true that Chief Falae will be meeting with Baba (Obasanjo) but I don’t know the purpose of the meeting because it is a private meeting.”
