Nigeria, Poorly Managed For Eight Years – Obasanjo by midolian(m): 7:24pm On May 24, 2015 |
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Sunday said Nigeria had been poorly managed for eight years, telling Nigerians to be patient with the incoming administration of President-Elect, Muhammadu Buhari, to correct the prevailing abnormalities. He said this during a visit of a delegation of South-West women leaders, under the leadership of Iyalode of Yorubaland,Chief Alaba Lawson, to his Abeokuta Hilltop residence. Obasanjo noted that it would take a sizable time for Buhari to correct the anomalies. He said, “The country had been poorly managed in the last eight years, and it will take some time for Buhari’s government to correct the anomalies. But I want to him not to be frightened. “When I came in 1999, there was no fuel, there was no power. The situation was like this, and I thought we have put that one behind us. The man that is coming on board has a lot of experience in terms of governance. “He is not a green horn. We have both worked together in administering, then as a military Head of State and we did it well. Nigerians need to exercise patience because what have been destroyed in eight years cannot be rebuilt in a day. “Let’s give him time. Let’s pray for him and let’s cooperate with him. We are all concerned about the present situation of Nigeria. The expectation is very high but at the same time, there is a lot of goodwill internally and externally for the incoming government. “Once the incoming administration realises this and takes every step, particularly in the first three months,when people will be watching and counting, I think for me, we will get there.” The former president, however, warned Buhari not to take Nigerians for granted but to be as honest as possible in overseeing the country, adding that Nigerians were clever and could not be deceived. He told the visitors that he believed in the managerial and political acumen of the President-elect in leading Nigeria aright, because “he is not a novice in governance, having ruled the country as a military Head of State from 1983 to 1985.” Obasanjo said with Buhari at the helm, the citizens would have a new opportunity. He said, “God has provided a new opportunity for Nigeria and Nigerians and I believe God does not make mistake. “There are two things I believe the incoming President appreciates. One is that he knows that the expectations of Nigerians are high and two, that he should not be frightened by the situation on the ground. “All he has to do is to be honest with Nigerians, he should not deceive them. He should not be an ostrich. He should not deceive Nigerians and not to be too clever with them. “There is a lot of goodwill for the incoming administration from within and outside the country. What is important is that steps have to be taken that will not lead to the squandering of the goodwill and I believe the incoming government will be able to take care of that.” http://www.punchng.com/news/nigeria-poorly-managed-for-eight-years-obasanjo/ Cc: Lalasticlala 2 Likes 1 Share |

Baba created jobs. Real jobs in banking, telecoms,IT,education,hospitality petroleum etc. Real middle class stuffs Not to forget, the foreign visa galore ( won by OBJ gravitas)which many of my friends took advantage of to get out of Nigeria. The only item he erred on was in the choice of successors. Coming out of a military dictatorship, I will excuse most of obj's misdemeanours. By the way, most of what is good about Nigeria was either built by baba himself, or a government he was part of( refineries, highways, dams, power plants etc) His successors come in and destroy most of his hardwork. Where is olokola and brass LNG? How I wished buhari had the $64 billion external reserves obj left behind to play with. With people like David West, Itse sagay, Fashola, Pat utomi,sanusi doing their thing. What about a budget of 60/40 reccurrent to capital expenditure? 31 Likes 1 Share |

OBJ and his insatiable penchant for pointing at everything and everybody other than himself GEJ is probably the worst thing to have happened to this country ... but then, OBJ isn't our Mandela either.... A man who nearly imposed a democratic dictatorship on us and brazenly fuccked his son's wife, isn't a man to be taken seriously under any circumstances WE KNOW THAT GEJ IS PLUNGING NIGERIA INTO AN ECONOMIC ARMAGEDDON WHICH GMB WILL HAVE TO WORK VERY HARD TO AVERT...

Obasanjo is not capable of giving advice even to a 9 year old. Buhari should stay away from Obasanjo if he knows whats good for himself. Obasanjo is a despot, a cheat, an egomaniac, a tyrant, a manipulator, a hypocrite and a snake. Obasanjo is the father of corruption in Nigeria. Advice : If anyone is close to Obj, please kindly tell Obasanjo to go and De-Stupidise his old and withered brain, infact he should visit www. HowtoRemove stupidity.

He is the best president Nigeria has ever had... He took over a delapidated Nigeria under IBB and Abacha's regime and held Nigeria together in peace before handing over to Umar Y'adua whose soul will continue to rest in peace,before this Foool and his Imbecilee wife from Otuoke took over and ran Nigeria like a zoo just because he studied zoology... The best thing to happen to Nigeria is the election of Buhari...it shows that Nigerians can still put religion and tribalism and do the needfull for a better Nigeria... 9 Likes |
