Former President has unleashed another attacks on President Goodluck Jonathan, acussing him of playing politics of do-or-die like President of Côte d’Ivoire, Laurent Gbagbo and that Jonathan is afraid of being jailed by Buhari if he loses.

Obasanjo said this on Saturday at his Hilltop presidential residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State, in an interview with newsmen.

The ex-President Obasanjo said he broke his promise not to talk till after the elections because the elections were postponed.


Obasanjo, who just returned from a trip to New Delhi, Rabat, Nairobi, Munich and London, said the incumbent president might become another Laurent Gbagbo, the former president of Cote d’lvoire, who kept on shifting election dates until he believed the odds were in his favour.

Gbagbo lost the presidential election in 2010, refused to handover to the winner and was finally disgraced out of office in April 2011, after he had plunged the country into chaos.
