WHY OBASENJO WILL FAIL
People’s Democratic Party chieftain and former President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, may be defeated, as he jostles along with the former military president, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida for the party’s Board of Trustees (BOT) chairmanship in the next convention of the party.
From the sensibility and comments from the party stalwarts and delegates one would discover that they would tilt towards Babangida because of his humane and democratic disposition despite his military background.
The erstwhile labour boss, who spoke to Daily Sun in Yola, declared that the dictatorial posture of Obasanjo would greatly count against him at the PDP national convention, while Babangida would emerge as the consensus BOT chairman because he commands more respect of party stalwarts.
Though the former leaders have military background, Obasanjo was more dictatorial and unreceptive to corrections when mistakes were pointed out to him. Actually, the two have military orientation. The difference is that one was a military head of state and later, became a civilian president. But who was more liberal, democratic, accessible and sensitive to the plights of Nigerians during their respective regimes? you may ask.
