Recently , President Obasanjo was reported to have threatened to walk out the governor of Akwa Ibom State, Victor Attah, from the Presidential Council on Coastal States in the Niger Delta conference held in Abuja.
Power obsessed President , was in his usual element, openly and violently tongue lashing Governor Attah over his opinion on how to develop the (Niger Delta).
To drive home the point that he is still the headmaster,Obasanjo intermittently interrupted the governor’s speech to throw punches at his presentation.
An attempt by the poor governor to explain himself further brought out the venom from an uncultured Statesman, without any observance to protocol and respect to the Governor's office, in these um printable words:
"Please governor, please governor, with all due respect, what I am asking you is not what you want Niger Delta Development Commission to do. What are you going to do? I came up here. I told you what we (Federal Government) are going to do, when and how and by what time. If you haven’t done that, go home and do that or I will walk you out of this meeting".
Haba Baba Iyabo, even in village meetings, Oba/Obi/Emir/Obong shows more respect to his subjects than this attitude of yours.
Can you please recall other incident[s] that Obasanjo forgot his manners at home?
What manner of President?
Please just go, like Prof Wole Soyinka told you to go to your chickens in Ota
