Nigeria’s former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, on Wednesday, said he is most qualified to criticise President Muhammadu Buhari, having presided over the affairs of the country at different times.
He said this at the 2018 Ibogun Day celebration which attracted notable indigenes of the state which include Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun, two gubernatorial candidates of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Allied People’s Movement (APM), Prince Gboyega Nasir Isiaka and Hon. Adekunle Akinlade respectively.
Obasanjo equally advised Amosun not to get involved in his public spat with Buhari, saying both of them are soldiers.
He said, “I know Buhari and he too knows me. Till the day I die, Buhari will continue to address me as ‘sir.’ In 2015, if I didn’t support Buhari, he wouldn’t have won the election. I have what it takes to correct him. Nigeria should not be in the position we are today. Nigeria can be better. God has given us all that we need.
“I am qualified to speak against Buhari. One, I have done it before. Two, I have shed my blood for this country. Even my biological son has shed his blood. Why can’t I speak about what is best for this country? I am doubly qualified to do that.”
On the governorship election in 2019, the former President said God’s will is important in the choice of who becomes the governor of the State, irrespective of what individuals or collective interest may be.
He cautioned politicians against violence, contending that there are no reasons the country should not have a peaceful election in the state.
Obasanjo said, “I am particularly happy that the governor spoke against violence. I want to tell you, if you do not stop violence among your supporters, you will have yourself to blame. There is no earthly reason we should not have a peaceful election in the state”
He also directed the two governorship candidates to embrace themselves openly and also pointed out that the two would find themselves to blame if they do not caution their supporters against violence.
Obasanjo described Amosun as his dear brother despite their political affiliations.
“I have made my choice, it may not be in tandem with yours. Let my choice be and let yours be and let God decide and whoever gets there let all of us support him,” he submitted.
Amosun in his remarks urged politicians to conduct themselves in an orderly manner and not heat up the polity in the interest of the state.

The meaning of sir as at d last time I checked my dictionary was Arakunrin. Sir is never a respect but used for the name of d unknown person
My Northerner’s brothers will insult hell out baba today,
No mumu talk be that
E Pele,baba criticism.
Really but u need to respect yourself
Is that the certificate to your heaven?
God is not after that both in the grace and heaven.
Only ends in this life.
U r right
Pls sir which blood? After stealing govt property and u still support the man the all world know is a thief and u confirm DAT in ur book sir u have problem
Correct talk!
Gabriel Eniola Samuel
Is their any evidence Buhari used sir for him..
Anyone is free to admit anything
Obasanjo is indirectly admitting to 2019 reflection
Even if he jail you, he will address you sir.
Until u return our looted money,before u can gain public respect.
That one na story
Very correct ???
Obasanjo steel the money, inquiry don close oooo. E no finish, e no finish eeeee. Ole
Father of the nation @ Olusegun Obasanjo A.k.A OBJ
Just as you must call Yakubu Gowon Sir, and remember that you must respect him as the number one citizen of this country.
Chief Olusegun Aremu Mathew Obasanjo P.hD, You are the most qualified indeed
Please Sir,where is the power?
Respect ✊ because you’re his senior in Military and in age. You don’t deserve respect in integrity.
Fantastically True……..
How that one take help us. Na sir be the answer? BUHARI OSINBAJO TILL 2023 JOOOOR.
Bad belle man
Aremo Moyosolaoluwa Joseph sir is a respect for us Africans , to hell with your useless dictionary
Where is the power ?
Aliyu Saidu number one who achieved nothing.
His problem no be small problem i sue
Congratulations Baba OBJ! But my own question is: Are u now denying or defending all what u wrote about Atiku in ur book???
Your english is dirty like that of buhari. Check it
That shows, he is the man of respect. but also remember is reciprocal!
Even when u die,he will address u as late sir OBJ,the letter writer.
Both in your grave abi
Hate it or love it Obasanjo is the best
After hi reject you
Do ur worst Baba AGBA
Correct, that is Our training.
God bless you aremo don’t mind all those Biafra animal that does not know what they are saying
Oga Boss
Criticism does not mean disrespect
You are an illiterate! To not know that Sir is a conotation of respect is an embarrassment.
God bless u Aremo
Stop marketing your ignorance publicly
Ba karya!
God bless PMB
Buhari asked where is the Power no reply from yet
Even Sanni Abacha would still have used “sir” for you !
Sir pronounced as Sã in the north, to a hausa fulani man means cow ?
Guy is not God oh jst a human?only God is nation pls.
Actually respect is a reciprocal Mr obasanjo.
You’ve gone beyond what wisdom can allow.
This is totally childish play.
Statement of fact for those who as been following the progress of the incumbent president,his life history not completed without OBJ,apart from been a senior officer,he was the first to appointed him a petroleum commissioner in the early 70s
but is not a crime is your right
Aremo Moyosolaoluwa Joseph which dictionary u used? Bcs Arakunrin is not in any English dictionary. We r talking about generality, but u r talking about Yoruba Dico.
I will continue to respect you my able elder state man, Mr Obasanjo , well done sir
God bless you.
Dindinrin agbalagba…
Dindinrin agbalagba…
I never any iota of doubt dat a Fulani slave & cultist will never deviate frm his Master’s actions. If Atiku is corrupt, ur allah must be chancellor of corruption! Atiku followed ur allah in 2014-2015 campaigns. Ur god & his corrupt, lying gangs described him in superlative words as most decent & misunderstood Nigerian. 4 merely indicating his interest 2 run d President, he suddenly become corrupt in ur warped mind!! Almighty God will never allow ur allah 2 win in 2019 as d blood of d innocent children, mothers, aged our soldiers 95% of Christians killed by Buhari & his people ve been crying 4 justice & God’s vengeance against Buhari & faceless supporters like u.
You people will sit with all your respect and knowledge just to insult elders I don’t need such.
He’s human, so whatever he might have written doesn’t matter at this point
Chibueze King who achieved nothing but d GSM u r using to comment, is it ur father that bring it to d country?
Even after ur death….
Mentally deranged people are everywhere , saying whatever crosses their mind. Too bad
True talk from the temple#whoborndem#
Shame on you, the loser
Chibueze King, Newman Newton Operation Python Dance is a big achievement, if not that idiot fugitive criminal Nnamdi kanu AKA the swindler, who tries to cause commotion. Biafrauds everywhere looking for who to scam, you can only scam TGE white not blacks like you
He even influenced his present position without Obasanjo he can’t win in 2015,now that they no more together lets see what will happen in 2019 without Obasanjo supports
Was that why he couldn’t tare Ottah road for 8 years in office? With his nose like Barça goal post.
Nonsense
Ask saraki and Dogara
Ubana Abam if it’s true, what r u waiting for since these days? Y can’t u talk am b4 he talked?
This man is a wizard of buhrisatan
PMB is a man dominated by humility & therefore he doesn’t find it difficult to extend it to people.
PMB is cultured and well respected, you are arrogant and vindictive. Gowon has never made silly noise as you do. Die and resurrect,if you like, PMB has matched and/or equalled your so-called unbeaten record in both civilian and military set up. This I think is what denies you night sleep. Sharrap!!!
God bless you.
You don’t need to tell us that and hope you extend same compliment to Gowon?
Hahaha
Na clear matter
Though Baba is a human being and a political animal. However, in Yoruba land, whatever an elderly person says on any issue matters a lot! Or should we then conclude that his book is full of lies and propaganda???
Great one like no other I love u OBJ
Posterity will judge all of you that contribute to the problem we are today. Those of you who loathe the truth but embrace lies and deceit.
No doubt about that sir, U are the master of all Masters both in Nigeria and African.
The King of the juggle, the lion? of our time, may you live long for us sir. Aremu Matthew Olusegun Obasanjo you fought and you conquered.
So what if he address u as sir,after all ure his senior in the Army,and he is discipline and he has conscience,unlike u that dnt have one
in times of your Ex Military affairs Buhari will call you sir…..but intimes of good governance and intergrity you deserve zero respect from.
Their is no any thing like integrity in Nigerian politician. If that Corrupt man called buhari talk of integrity let him tell us how much he spent at London hospital
He is calling you Sir to avoid the Super Juju life you are doing, 4 his protection.
He is respecting you, but unfortunately you’re not respecting yourself.
Who killed Bola ige ,Harry mashed2, Dikibo, etc we never4get you most corrupt leaders
But let me tell you the truth baba, you are telling the truth and it is normal for you to be recognized as such but you are not a truthful, straight forward, honesty but a gang leader of looters. Stop crediting your self with reputable positions. You look so irrelevant now than never.
Respect no b fear o!
Aremo Moyosolaoluwa Joseph that’s very incorrect mr ma. Don’t mislead the ignorant ones with your lies
Meaning what? Sir is a British tittle for your information. It’s just being used wrongly here in Nigeria.
Obasanjo boo than for buhari
Yes buhari must go
But the Elders should respect themselves and stop making childish comments on social media, and nosooner an elder behave like a brat than the consequence of his/ her behaviour is for the young one to insult them period.
Leing Muhammadu can help
Samson Salifu ask the professor with fully grown white hair who the father of the nation is. OBJ is a disaster
The easiest place to locate those that lack manners,who have lost manners and who refused to be trained on core value of African value , and the particular tribe they come from, Facebook is the point of call. What have I said that warranted all these diarrhea they are vomiting as frustrated fellows
You people should stop behaving to type by being hypocrites. Go and check what Tinubu said about Buhari in 2006 where he called Buhari a tribal divider. Today he is singing Buhari’s praises while you people are chorusing in the back. So what moral right do you have to ask Obasanjo such a question?
Ask manmam
He wrote based on sentiments bit now facing reality
Baba iyabo. How far na
That’s because the man responsible, and he recognized the age differences, seniority in the military profession. To me, ur attitude towards him is not statesmanship at all
Tunde Sopitan, #fact!
The pharaoh of our time?
Tunde Sopitan did I hear you mentioned integrity? and if I may ask, are you by inference referring to the friend of the following know thieves like Tinubu, Akpabio,Gandullar,Rotimi Amechi, Orji kalu etc?
Abdul Kareem Sulaimon Olatunji
Your father property
Ask Dogara and saraki
He didn’t influence his presidency.
That’s the only thing losers do; when they are being called out for their goof, they quickly want to play the tribal card. What you forgot is that those who took shots at you are from various ethnicities and not a particular tribe. But again, I don’t think your tribe should be proud of having someone like you.
Big fool
Newman Newton you no de follow…at all.
Baba iyabo
To my own knowledge I think is highest respect in the likes of calling your daddy Sir,in football sir Alex Ferguson
So what?
Hassan Mohammed accurate assessment by you Mr Hassan.
@ste@Stephen U osazuwa, do you know the difference between a documentary statement and oral communication? It’s only when you are sure of what you are talking about that you document for future reference. Tinubu statement is nothing but ordinary oral communication.
No be lie.
Fatoba Temitope My pleasure.
Aremo Moyosolaoluwa Joseph be objective “Sir is an honorific address used in a number of situations in many Anglophone cultures. The term can be used as a formal prefix, especially in the Commonwealth, for men who have been given certain honours or titles, where usage is strictly governed by law and custom. Wikipedia”
Omeiza, Read and stop your ignorance. Obasanjo said he made it possible for Buhari to win in 2015.
Buhari is nothing but a cow,
Rubbish
Old thief
Hmmmmmm
HEAR MUMU
And then?
Even baba dead body lying in state will get compliments from Buhari.
This solder people don’t go far in their Spirit de corps.
Then own pass Ofboni culture oh.
Once you adorn that uniform you don’t enter the cult till death.
Leave them make them dey do their own thing then own way
No interference is allowed else na your head then go take break coconut.

OBJ sounds Senile.

Childish!
Nobody cares if it is genuine criticism and with good intention.
Baba iyabo,pls go and sit down with this your childish attitude
