The National Chairman of Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Alhaji Ganiyu Galadima,has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s letter to President Muhammadu Buhari as the best thing for the country.
Obasanjo in a lengthy letter to Buhari on Tuesday advised the president to resign having failed in leading Nigerians.
Reacting to the development which has sparked several responses, Galadima in a statement said Obasanjo’s advice to President Buhari not to contest in 2019 was sincere considering his health conditions.
According to him, Buhari had failed in leading Nigeria due to his failing health which had been taken advantage of to taint his image.
He said “Obasanjo is a former Nigerian president known for his truth and bluntness. He is different from other partisan Nigerian leaders who engages in macabre dance of shame and insincerity. He says his own not minding whose ox is gored.
“He is a patriotic and a detribalised Nigeria and the advice given should be taken in good faith. Whether anybody likes it or not, the health of Buhari is an issue in 2019.
“The question is this, is he fit enough to be president again in 2019? If I am a family of the president, I will advise him to retire on the ground of his deteriorating health so as to face his health challenge and be useful to his immediate family.
“Due to his Ill-health, president Buhari has been unable to grapple with the challenges of leadership. People have taken the advantage of his health condition to commit political brigandage that has rubbished his reputation while the president couldn’t take action.”
