Elder statesman and Afenifere chieftain, Chief Ayo Adebanjo has faulted the incessant visits by former president Olusegun Obasanjo to President Muhammadu Buhari in the presidential villa.

Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Adebanjo urged Buhari to stop accommodating the former president because he has nothing to offer in terms of advice and leadership.

Adebanjo, who faulted Obasanjo’s desire to continue to rule despite being out of office said the former president ruled Nigeria for fifteen years out of the sixteen years the PDP was in power.

He added that Obasanjo lost out last year when former president Goodluck Jonathan refused to take orders from him.

“On the frequent visits, I don’t blame Obasanjo. What about Buhari himself who is accommodating him, sending him on emissary as if there are no other capable hands in the country?”.

“The PDP ruled Nigeria for sixteen years. Out of that sixteen years, this is a man who failed in his eight years as president yet you are asking him to show you the roadmap, that he is the navigator? What roadmap will he show you? The roadmap that he couldn’t tour while he was in the office?”

“What kind of man will leave the government and still wants to continue ruling the government? He was there as president for eight years. He was there during the time of late Umaru Yar’adua. He was there until former president Goodluck Jonathan refused to take orders from him. Put together, Obasanjo was in office for fifteen years out of the sixteen years that PDP ruled”.

“This is a man whose party wanted to impeach under Ghali Na’aba. They listed all his impeachable offences. He has never refuted them but they only swept it under the carpet”.

“When he was in office, he became so dictatorial that he changed the constitution of the PDP to suit him that whoever wants to be the Chairman of the Board of Trustees must be a former president”.

“If Obasanjo says he is a leader, the media should ask him if he has the quality of leadership. A man whose son told him that he is very immoral. It is in the public eye and Obasanjo never denied it” he said.
