You Can Help Someone Get A Job; You Cannot Do The Job For Him/Her –Obasanjo
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo again today fired a veiled salvo at President Goodluck Jonathan saying “you can only help someone to get a job; you cannot help him to do the job.”
Obasanjo, who spoke as the Special Guest of Honour at the investment summit organized by the Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, made an indirect reference to Jonathan, who many believe now, disagree over the state of the nation and the crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party.
Obasanjo, who said that the performance of Lamido in Jigawa state had shown that he was prepared for the job, noted that the performance should be an invitation to higher calling adding, “That is if he agrees to do, but if he does not agree to do, there is nothing an Obaanjo can do about it.”
His audience believed Obasanjo was making veiled reference to the 2015 presidential ambition of Lamido.
He had earlier said that the road to Jigawa from Kano was better than that from Lagos to Ibadan drawing parallel between Lamido and many other governors in the country.
The former president had shunned the presentation of a mid-term report by Jonathan in Abuja to attend the Dutse event in what is believed to be in furtherance of his support for the Jigawa governor for 2015 presidential election, of significance was the presence of the British High Commissioner to Nigeria at the event.
