Former Olusegun Obasanjo’s
ex-wife Mrs Taiwo Obasanjo is about to create a political party, with the name,
Abundant Blessing Congress, ABC.
Taiwo described her
decision to present the party as a “divine assignment from God.’’
Speaking with The Sun, she
warned Nigerians against blaming President Muhammadu Buhari for the nation’s
woes, saying that the current government had laid a better foundation for the
nation.
On why she decided to float
a party, she said, “I have a divine assignment from God to come out with
something like this. It has a divine agenda. What is the divine agenda? What is
the agenda? It is to create a selfless platform for people to come together and
become the custodian, part and parcel towards rebuilding this nation.
“We shouldn’t leave it to
only the government of the day to run. It is going to be a kind of shadow
government, that will also externalise itself in all that they want to do for
the nation. The Abundant Blessing Congress will also be internalizing what they
want to do and that’s what we are going to externalize in the nation. That’s
why I said we shall have a shadow government, because right now, what we have
doesn’t make me happy.”
On the current hardship in
the country, Taiwo said Nigerians needed to back Buhari instead of nailing him
to the cross.
She added, “Yes, we can
solve the problem because he came as a caterpillar to clear the bush but he
isn’t the one that will be building that foundation, I believe he can build a
superior foundation on the one he has laid.
“And what is the foundation
he has come to lay? His mission is to bring us back to a people with
conscience, a people that must know that we should rule with fear of God; that
is, we should be accountable and there should be disciplined and we shouldn’t
institutionalize dishonesty. So, the man shouldn’t be hated.”
