Festus Keyamo, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, has lashed out at
former Presidents, Ibrahim Babangida and Olusegun Obasanjo for
advising President Muhammadu Buhari not to seek reelection in 2019.
In a series of tweets via his verified Twitter handle, the Senior
lawyer described both Babangida and Obasanjo as "expired leaders."
Keyamo said expired leaders who tried all they could to extend their
stay in office until they were chased out, should not advise Buhari.
He wrote: "Ironically, these expired leaders, IBB & OBJ, used all the
tricks in the books to illegally extend their tenures in office until
they were chased away by Nigerians, yet they're the ones now advising
Buhari to give up his LEGAL RIGHT to seek re-election. It's hypocrisy
at its best.
"The message we can take from d letters of OBJ & IBB is d urgent need
4 govt to address problems plaguing Nigeria. But d message we must
reject with d messengers is their roadmap on d way forward. They're
too morally deficient to provide any political compass for this nation
again."
Obasanjo had advised Buhari against seeking re-election in the
upcoming 2019 election due to the failure of the government.
Similarly, Babangida had last week asked Nigerians to vote Buhari out
of office, come 2019.
IBB, however, enjoined Nigerians to co-operate with Buhari until his
tenure ends.
