Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has been advised by the Ogun State Peoples Democratic Party Progressive Youth Vanguard to be wary of the “antics” of former governor Otunba Gbenga Daniel.
The group, in a statement by its Chairman, Alhaji Mukaila Adebajo on Tursday, alleged that the former governor was only trying to warm his way to Obasanjo to achieve a selfish and sinister goal.
The group said its advice to Obasanjo followed media reports which indicates that some associates of the former governor had brokered peace between him and the former president.
The statement read, “Good as that piece of news might sound to the ear, we, as dutiful children cannot afford to watch and allow our father to be rubbished a second time. The truth is that OGD is never sincere and cannot be trusted.
“Obasanjo himself alluded to this when he said at the Tuesday meeting that although he had forgiven all those who offended him before and during the 2011 elections, he can never trust OGD again. He likened him to a chameleon.
“We recall that the said reconciliatory meeting was to hold during the Easter holiday but OGD never showed up. He suddenly developed cold feet and practically left his associates, such as Chief Niyi Adegbenro, Alhaji Okanlawon Soboyede and Chief Sarafa Tunji-Ishola, among others, in the lurch.”
The group added that the plot by OGD to warm his way back to Obasanjo’s heart was to lure the ex- president’s associates to Labour Party where he had allegedly sent some of his aides.
It added, “This is not hearsay. It is a statement of fact. And we trust that sooner than later, the truth will prevail.”
