Ex-wife of former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, Taiwo Obasanjo, has
unveiled plans to float a new political party named the Abundant
Blessing Congress party aka ABC party. In an interview with the Sun
newspaper, the former Mrs Obasanjo said she is on a “divine assignment
from God’’.She stated that she will not be using the party to pursue any
elective position but would rather use the party to help pursue the
political vision of patriotic Nigerians ;
"No, I Taiwo Obasanjo will not be seeking an elective office but my
members can. The party is hinged on three S: selfless sacrifice,
selfless service and the third is selfless submission, saturated with
self discipline and accountability. Selfless service is about serving
people not with the motive of money. When we talk about self discipline,
even if you come, it is a conservative party, but open to suggestion,
open to improvement. My aim, my agenda, my objective is to get all of us
together to fashion out a strategy of how we can recover our lost
possession in this nation, our lost glory, how we can become a producing
nation, instead of consuming and importing and how we can make life
better. Buhari still has two and half more years to go, because a child
that is going to grow will first of all crawl before walking. We don’t
want to start seeking elective office only. We want this platform to
have trained the people. Everyone, I call it a family, they know our
vision, our agenda and what is the agenda? Like I told you, we begin
indoctrination among us, so that anyone among us seeking elective office
will not get there and start thinking about what to do. In fact before,
once a president from our own platform emerges, the following day he
will have the names of all the ministers and the Senate can do the
screening. We also want to champion one term for everybody, from
2019"she said
