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, as 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.Obasanjo is confused, no one takes him seriously' -Garba Shehu
