Taking to his twitter handle yesterday, the learned SAN said the ex-President is accusing President Buhari for two reasons: 1. To attract unearned sympathy to himself in order to deflect the damage the immortalisation of June 12 has done to his image as the main antagonist of Abiola’s mandate. 2. To dampen the accolades going the way of PMB over the issue. He described such action by the former President as a “childish prank.” Festus Keyamo, SAN Verified account @fkeyamo 10h10 hours agoOBJ’s outcry is for two reasons: 1.

Obasanjo raised the alarm in a statement signed by his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Friday in Abeokuta, alleging that the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has put his name on its security watchlist. Obasanjo claimed security agencies are plotting to arrest and put him in detention. He noted that the present administration wanted to blackmail him into abandoning his divine mandate to protect the rights of Nigerians to a better life. The Presidency however responded through the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, adding that the Buhari administration will not be distracted by “frivolous allegations from any quarter,” especially those “cleverly choreographed to divert attention” from a widely-acclaimed presidential proclamation. Mohammed said that the ex-president’s “allegations” were meant to shore up support for a “waning and egotistical cause.” The minister said the administration was too busy trying to clear the mess of 16 years and build on its unprecedented achievements over the past three years to waste its energy and time on framing up anyone or dwelling on issues that are not grounded in fact. He said while those who have skeletons in their wardrobes should be afraid, even of their own shadows, innocent persons needed not worry about any investigation, whether real or imagined. He said, ”This administration will never engage in a frame-up of innocent citizens. That is neither in the character of President Muhammadu Buhari nor in that of his administration. Read Obasanjo’s Statement In Part: “Since Chief Olusegun Obasanjo declared in his State-of-the-Nation special statement on January 23, 2018, the desperation to frustrate, intimidate and blackmail him into abandoning his divine mandate to protect the rights of the people to better life and living continued unabated and has even taken a bizarre dimension. “Impeccable security sources have alleged Chief Obasanjo’s name is on their Watch List and that the security of his life cannot be guaranteed. “According to these informants, many of who are in the top echelon of the nation’s security management and close to the corridors of power, the operatives are daily perfecting how to curtail the personal liberties of the former President and hang a crime on him. “Ordinarily, we would not have dignified these reports with a response but for the fact that many of these informants are not known for flippant and frivolous talks. “This government has demonstrably exhibited apathy, and in some cases, encouraged by its conduct, daily loss of lives and property in many states of the country, the office cannot be indifferent.
