“People seem to have forgotten when former President Obasanjo was literally absent for about three years traveling all over the world‎ when he was president and then nobody told him not seek re-election.

“He does‎ not have the moral right to decide for Nigerians who becomes president. When he was president no one wrote letters advising him against seeking for re election,” he said.
