The All Progressives Congress APC Presidential Campaign Council has dismissed former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s endorsement of Peter Obi, describing it as worthless.
Obasanjo yesterday endorsed Obi listing several criteria but the Director, Media & Publicity of the Council Bayo Onanuga was quick to dismiss the move, stressing that the party and its candidate, Bola Tinubu will not lose sleep over Obasanjo’s move, as Obasanjo is notorious for always opposing progressive political forces.
Onanuga said the endorsement was worthless because the former President does not possess any political goodwill or leverage anywhere in Nigeria to make anyone win a Councillorship election let alone win a Presidential election, adding that he is a political paperweight and also not a democrat anyone should be proud to be associated with.
He claimed that in the 2003 and 2007 general elections when he was a sitting President, Obasanjo used all the coercive instruments of State at his disposal to railroad people into elective offices against the will of Nigerians as expressed at the polls.
