Obasanjo Warns Nigerians As He Introduces Book In UK by helinues: 7:45am On Feb 12, 2015 |
Nigeria’s former President Olusegun Obasanjo is in the news again, and again, in connection with his controversial autobiography “My Watch”. It should be recalled that during the launch of his book in Kenya, OBJ openly endorsed the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), despite being member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He also faulted President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration over its decisions and general performance. February 11, yesterday, the ex President allegedly made another memobrable remark when he introduced “My Watch” in London, UK. Well-known Nigerian blogger Linda Ikeji informs that in London, Obasanjo reinstated his support for Buhari and allegedly warned Nigerians against dying for a “mediocre performer”. See the statement credited to OBJ below: “What I said and I maintain that and I will say it again and I will do it. When the time comes for me to vote, I will consider the track record of all the candidates that are contesting and I will assess and based on my assessment for who I believe have the best track record to perform the job of the Nigerian president, then he will have my vote and if anybody should know what the job of the Nigerian president requires, I should know. “And there is no sentiment in the affairs of Nigeria.Nigeria is a population of 180million and you wouldn’t have anybody other than one person or two persons that can run the affairs of Nigeria? What the hell are we talking about? For me there are millions who can run the affairs of Nigeria that are not even coming out. So why should you die on behalf of one who is probably performing as a mediocre. With all due respect. Nigeria, if you love it, you would look for the best for Nigeria and I don’t believe that at this point in time we have the best.” It is worth mentioning that reacting to Obasanjo’s endorsement voiced in Nairobi, the former military Head of State said he was “happy” with the development. According to Buhari, OBJ’s move will ensure more support for his candidacy. Source: http://www.naij.com/383455-obasanjo-warns-nigerians-as-he-introduces-book-in-uk.html |
