Dr. Olapade Agoro, the National Chairman of the National Action Council (NAC), on Friday declared that former President Olusegun Obasanjo is the main political problem of Nigeria.
Addressing a press conference at his Apata, lbadan residence, Agoro also described Obasanjo’s Coalition for Nigeria Movement as “Coalition of Nigerian Muguns”.
The NAC’s National Chairman said only those who could not discern Obasanjo’s antics to perpetually dominate the Nigerian politics are buying into the “Coalition for Nigeria Mugun”.
Agoro also disputed the claim that about three million Nigerians have registered to join the Obasanjo’s coalition, challenging the former president to publish details of the people.
He said: “Obasanjo is the problem of Nigeria. He brought late Yar’Adua and failed; he also brought Goodluck Jonathan and failed; he actively supported President Muhammadu Buhari, who has now disappointed Nigerians.
“Obasanjo is out again to take Nigerians on a ride with the coalition of Nigerian Muguns that he is packaging. He said he has gathered the list of three million Nigerians. I am challenging him to publish the list of the said three million Nigerians who have joined his coalition before next week Tuesday.
“Obasanjo rode to the top in his political career. But it appears that his ride has no bus stop and brake. He does not know where to stop.”
Agoro suggested that Obasanjo, after his presidency should have toed the path of honor, like late Nelson Mandela, by quitting partisan politics.
“Have you heard the immediate past President of the United States, Barack Obama, criticising his successor, Donald Trump, like Obasanjo has been doing since 1999?”, he queried.
Speaking further on the state of the nation, Agoro said both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) do not mean well for Nigerians.
The NAC’s National Chairman revealed that he decided to contest the 2019 presidential election to repair all the damages done to the country by both PDP and APC.
