He believes it is only his administration that has done well and hence the authority to choose next leader or president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis way of choosing the next president is either to blackmail the incumbent or denigrate candidates in favour of his choices. He does that often times vide a letter he would release as though its an epistle to the Nigeria about the almighty direction of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe seem to think we are under under military rule. In his 2014 or 2015 letter he accused GEJ of training snippers to kill citizens, even though it was proved to be a false allegation, in his 2018 or 2019 letter, he accused Buhari of trying to divide Nigeria and cause secession, and today he is writing another letter to accuse two other candidates whom he has vowed would never ascend to the nations loftiest seat, even though he made a u-turn and supported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/01\/02\/pdp-reacts-to-obasanjos-endorsement-of-peter-obi-says-atiku-most-acceptable-candidate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Atiku<\/a> in 2019 because of hatred for Buhari whom he played a role in bringing him to power.
