Former Minister of Police Affairs in the administration of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Alaowei Broderick Bozimo, has advised President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to ignore his former boss and focus on educating the electorate on the developmental strides of the Jonathan administration.
Bozimo, in Warri, Delta State, weekend, during a chat with Vanguard at his waterfront country home, said: “Obasanjo’s attacks on Jonathan don’t worry me. As you know, Obasanjo remains my boss. He is a friend and I respect him a lot. We worked well together but you know, Obasanjo the politician is not Obasanjo the friend that I know.
“So, in politics you don’t have permanent friends, you only have permanent interests. It doesn’t worry me because I remain totally loyal to the Jonathan Presidency and I believe that, because President Jonathan is not a do or die president.
“I believe that we should be patient. Like I said before, we will be surprised at what will happen on election day once the process is free and fair. It is not by how many bigwigs who are throwing their weights behind them.
“Eventually, the Nigerian electorate must decide the outcome of this election and I would advise the President to go on patiently, reminding Nigerians and the world of his achievements.
“The PDP should go into the social media. That is where the opposition seems to be making all the noise from. PDP should go to the social media and meet them word for word, project for project and I believe that the superior argument will prevail, more so when there are hard facts of Jonathan’s achievements.”
