Adebanjo, however, interjected, saying, “You have not shed your blood, you only attempted to, because you are still alive,” a remark that drew laughter from him and the audience. Obasanjo swiftly responded in pidgin English, saying, “What of the blood I shed at the war front? I can show you where it hit me and nearly touched the wrong place,” as he pointed at and made a veiled reference to his private parts. His response was also greeted by laughter from the audience.
Obasanjo continued, “The problem we have right now is not ethnic, it’s national. For me, the first thing that is important in a leader is character. The problem we have had over the years is that we don’t have leaders who have the right type of character for which they should be entrusted with a leadership role. So, if I put my finger on anything or anybody, it is because comparing one with another, I see that there is merit that would be of benefit.
“That is to show you that we elderly people are united in one thing: bring Nigeria together. We are not looking at the past; that will not help us now. What will help us is to amend all the evil things that the Buhari government has done. The man is telling us he has done his best when his best is the worst administration we have had in the past 20 years.
Also, on his assessment of the campaigns so far, he said unlike the presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; and that of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, only Obi had been having issues-based campaigns. He stated, “Not all of them have been having issues-based and that is the truth, but Obi has been running issues-based campaigns. He has been very consistent about what he plans to do. Tinubu’s people have been abusing people, while Atiku’s people are also attacking them.All rights reserved.

HYPOCRISY 😄😄😄
Well in as much as both of you sir are our elder and grandpa, we re not buying your political ideas... Jagaban is the way out sir 🙂
Obasanjo is not about who can deliver but equity and justice; Igbos have not tasted it! Adebanjo claims Tinubu people hv been attacking people and I wonder if he is alive on Twitter to see the barrage of abuse you get for supporting another candidate. Win your wards first, Sirs!
We know....Inuni bini...
I enjoyed reading this... Big respect
That's the patriotic thing to do, APC has destroyed the country and Thiefnubu is not an option
Senility isn’t good at all.
