Ex-US Ambassador to Nigeria, John Campbell, has stated
that the exit of President Olusegun Obasanjo from the PDP
would affect the second term ambition of president
Goodluck Jonathan.
The envoy said the development will boost the winning
chances of the presidential candidate of the APC, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari in the rescheduled March 28
presidential election.
Campbell noted that Obasanjo’s decision to quit the party
on which platform he ruled the country, as a result of his
unending fracas with Jonathan, would certainly work in
favour APC and Buhari.
He said in a new article: “This move, along with numerous
other defections from the ruling party, may be a sign that
the hitherto badly splintered ruling elites may be coming
together again in the face of the Boko Haram insurgency,
corruption, incompetence of the federal government, and
the Abuja government’s declining economic performance.”
The former US envoy who is also a Senior Fellow of the
Council on Foreign Relations said that “Buhari’s positive
polling data and the anecdotal evidence of his growing
appeal in all parts of the country and across religious and
ethnic lines may reflect on this emerging elite consensus.” CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
