The Presidency has
dismissed the recent utterances by former president, Olusegun Obasanjo,
as a sign of confusion not worthy of attention.Speaking
to journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, presidential Spokesperson, Garba
Shehu, said that whoever Obasanjo chooses to support at the 2019
elections is irrelevant.
He said the former president had publicly changed his mind on the matter so many times over the past few months alone.
“Former president, Obasanjo denounces one person today and supports that same person the next day.
“When it pleases him, he brings God into the matter and uses that as his excuse for whatever position he has chosen,” he said.
Shehu
added that he was not surprised that newspapers reported Obasanjo
expressing neutrality at a weekend forum, only for the former president
to express a completely different stance after a day or two.
“We have learnt not to take his utterances seriously anymore.
“We
know that the slightest wind can make him change his mind again. After
all, this is the same man who publicly tore his party registration card
barely four years ago, and he now claims to be backing the same party,”
Shehu said.
