But the group in a statement signed by its National President, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, on Friday, slammed the ex president for the comment.
“For quite some time, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has turned himself into a self-appointed messiah in the efforts to define the political and democratic future of this country.
“And the result of this meddlesomeness by the former president has been disastrous for the country,” the group said.
AYCF said that it is disgusting that the former president is still bent on interfering with Nigeria’s leadership problems created by people like him.
The group said that it has noticed that the former president has made it a duty to lampoon President Buhari at every given opportunity, in a desperate bid to portray himself as Nigeria’s democratic superman.
“Much as we are equally disappointed in the underperformance of President Buhari, we are not blinded by the fact that Obasanjo has no moral high ground for his repeated attacks on Buhari.
“The current president may have his serious shortcomings but he is still morally a better leader than Obasanjo.
“We challenge Obasanjo to tell us any of the current political and economic difficulties confronting the nation that are not connected to his meddlesomeness and manipulations. Let him exonerate himself from the current mess facing the country, if at all he can.
“It will no longer be acceptable for any old cargo to decide the fate of over 160 million Nigerians. We have had enough of this domineering old men in the democratic space and we are now saying its over,” it noted.
AYCF urged Nigerians of good conscience to ignore Obasanjo’s rantings and face the reality of this defining moment in the history of the nation.
“We have warned, whoever has ear, let him hear!” the statement concluded.

Atiku: In pursuit of a life time ambition

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC). His next point of call is unknown. Will he return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or form a new party to acualise his presidential ambition? Group Political Editor EMMANUEL OLADESU writes on the struggle of the Turaki Adamawa for the presidency.  It was not beyond expectation. Yet, it was the most important political event of last week. The decision was predictable. The ruling party was not caught unawares. Now that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has resigned from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the question is: what next? The eminent politician has kept Nigerians guessing. Will he retrace his steps to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which he deserted, ahead of 2015? Will he take a refuge in one of the smaller parties? Will Atiku form a new party, nurture it and contest on its platform for the presidency in 2019? Although the former vice president has called

POLITICSFayose blasts Fayemi over anti-corruption speech

Fayose in a statement by Special Assistant to the Ekiti State Governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka and made available to DAILY POST, likened Fayemi’s speech against impunity to a case of “corruption condemning corruption.” Faymi was at the event quoted as saying that Nigeria must say no to impunity and eliminate the syndrome of ‘sacred cows’ for the fight against corruption. Reacting however, Fayose said the minister, who at the event tried to proffer solution to corruption in Nigeria was like robbers offering solution to armed robbery even after refusal to appear before commission of inquiry to probe his years as Ekiti governor. He said, “Fayemi’s comment that Nigeria must say no to impunity and eliminate the syndrome of ‘sacred cows’ for the fight against corruption to succeed is funny. “Fayemi offering solution to the corruption fight is like notorious armed robbers like Oyenusi and Shina Rambo giving lecture on how to stop armed robbery.” “It
