\u201cWith this development, I will work to actualise the second-term bid of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, come 2027.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nPolitical Irony And Family Contrasts<\/h2>\n
The move has been described by observers as one of those moments that reinforce the saying that politics has no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent interests.<\/p>\n
It also recalls a similar episode ahead of the 2019 general election, when Olujonwo Obasanjo, son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, endorsed Muhammadu Buhari, despite his father\u2019s open opposition to Buhari\u2019s re-election bid.<\/p>\n
At the time, Obasanjo had repeatedly called on Nigerians to vote out Buhari, a position his son publicly rejected.<\/p>\n
In a two-page endorsement letter released during the 2019 campaign, Olujonwo Obasanjo acknowledged that no human is perfect, but went on to highlight what he described as achievements of the Buhari administration, insisting that continuity was in Nigeria\u2019s best interest.<\/p>\n
He wrote, \u201cThe current administration has begun the process of laying a solid foundation for future generations. They have deliberated and contemplated extensively on our myriad of issues and complexity as a nation to proffer deeply rooted plans and polices to tackle and establish a strong base on which to build and consolidate upon.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cIt is also important to note that this process is not without pains, but we should consider where we were, where we are and where we are going. The current administration has given hope to the common man; it is the dawn of a new age.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cI would humbly and strongly appeal that we all embrace and support Buhari\u2019s government in his aggressive, relentless pursuit of equitable distribution of wealth and resources to the masses to aid the growth and development of our nation. He is seriously improving and empowering local farmers, industrialists, women, the SME and businessmen.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThe government is serious about development and has given new life to the steel industry, and the Buhari Administration is determined to industrialise our nation and to make us a producing nation. The revival of the Ajaokuta Steel Complex and the completion of the Baro and Lokoja ports are examples.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThe current administration has sought to address our importation of petroleum products through the relocation of refineries. These are a few examples; a whole book is needed to put the achievements and successes of the current administration into detail. The current administration has invested more in education, health, agriculture, security, and road infrastructure development to aid the growth of the economy despite receiving less revenue.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThe ingenuity of the current administration in proffering solutions is highly commendable. No human is perfect, no government is perfect; only the Creator of heaven and earth embodies perfection. We are on the right path and should not deviate.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThe youths of our great nation should join hands and support the progress and giant strides of President Buhari. He is working commendably to free us from past bondage and captivity.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cWe are on the right path, but we must not go back into bondage again. I am calling on the youths of our nation to let us work together to return President Buhari to power in 2019.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
