No doubt you are so 'Lifeless' Obasanjo’s coalition supports Donald Trump

The Coalition for Nigeria Movement led by former President Olusegun
Obasanjo says the recent statement purportedly made by the United States
President Donald Trump is an evidence that Buhari’s visit in April was
not successful.





The spokesman for the CNM, Mr Akin Osuntokun, said the coalition was not
surprised by the comment as Trump had been known to make similar
statements about others in the past.



Osuntokun stated that the comment had vindicated many Nigerians who had
said that the meeting was not as fruitful as the President’s image
makers had made it to look.





The CNM spokesman, therefore, described the comment as an insult to the
Buhari administration, stressing that what Trump said was a reflection
of the minds of those who believe Buhari shouldn’t return.



He told Punch: “Buhari is to blame for Trump’s comment as he lacked
respect for the rule of law and had failed to take the value of lives
and property seriously.



“The impression given by that comment of referring to Buhari as lifeless
means he never took President Buhari seriously. You don’t describe a
potential partner in such a derogatory manner. So, it means the aspect
of the visit which was reported by the Nigerian delegation was not
accurate.





“Those who described the visit as a failure have now been vindicated.
But this is a man who believes the constitution is inferior to his own
concept of national security. This is at variance with democracy and
western powers take exception to such statements.



“What Trump said is a reflection of the minds of those who believe Buhari shouldn’t return.”
