Obasanjo’s statement on Buhari undemocratic – Alhaji Mumakai

A presidential hopeful on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaji Mumakai Unagha, has condemned Obasanjo’s for telling President Muhammadu Buhari not seek a second term in office.

Mumakai said the former president lacked moral standing to release such a statement.

Mumakai, in a statement yesterday in Warri, Delta State, said though he is out to contestant for the office of the President of Nigeria in 2019, he will not encourage any undemocratic process that will shut out others from aspiring to the same office on the platform of his APC or any other party.

He said it is unfortunate that, “Chief Obasanjo could write such a letter to President Buhari when he was the same man that wanted to truncate the will of the people with his desire for a third term as president of the country.”

He added, “Chief Obasanjo can no longer determine Nigeria’s future. It is my advice to him to focus on his farm business. Buhari, like any other Nigerian, is eligible to present himself for the 2019 general election.

”It is the decision of our party (APC) and it is Nigerians that will decide whether Buhari should rule again. Calling on him not to run in the 2019 elections is undemocratic and borne out of sentiments. Therefore, I urge Nigerians to ignore it.”
