Former Chief Whip of Senate,
Senator Rowland Owie has warned Nigeria’s
president-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to avoid president Obasanjo like a
plague if he intends to succeed in ruling Nigeria. He says Obasanjo is one bad leader
that fights a government once he is not given a listening ear by the
administration. He did it to Jonathan, he did it with MKO despite MKO not
getting to the throne, he said.

“To Buhari, I thank God for you, but you must deliver on
your promises and also build on what President Goodluck Jonathan did. Above all, you must run far from Obasanjo. If
he can’t control your government, he will fight you.

He has done it to all former
Presidents of Nigeria and even against MKO Abiola who was not sworn in. Never discuss with Obasanjo unless you have
at least two of your aides present.

Half way into the tenure of
President Jonathan, Obasanjo started
trouble making by naming presidential and vice-presidential candidates. First,
it was Governor Sule Lamido as president and Governor Rotimi Amaechi as his
deputy. A respectable Lamido, a founding father of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP while Obasanjo was in prison, was being urged to fight PDP.

OBJ lured most PDP governors
in the North into rebellion against PDP to destroy the platform that gave all
of them relevance, including OBJ. The hate mood in the North for this election
against Jonathan was such that, any candidate from the North would have won the
election.

The anger was that power
must return to the North. Nigerians can see that rebellion against one’s own
and betrayer of one’s party doesn’t pay.
