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.”

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...


Check the facts. Abacha's tenure was way better than objs'

You claimed he did well but handed over to bad successor, what is worse than choosing bad successor and putting the future of the country in jeopardy? He made the same mistake twice, first in 1979 and then 2007. Unfortunately his choices were made for personal parochial and selfish interest. Abeg this man laid the foundation for our current woes, he should keep quiet and go and sit down.

Lol yorubas and eye service. Na the same thing way obasanjo day do now.... Heheheheheh, IMO, yorubas are the most corrupt when it comes to rulership of Nigeria, because them no see money to do bash every Friday, na em make GEJ become outcast, suppose GEJ dance to obasanjo tune,by now he for know as e day go, always reaping from where they do not sow, and very tribalistic.

I want everyone to see this and insult me as they like, it's allowed, truth is bitter, even the hausas don't trust them completely, funny they don't know it,you think they are as stupid as u see them, remember what they did to GEJ, hahahahahah expect even the worst.
To me, GEJ did his best,even tho we didn't allow him to complete because of the Problems, everyday, but somehow, lol, we day regret am now.
I wish we learn from our mistakes.

Long live Nigeria, God go help us all.

Jonathan's govt created jobs,reduced food importation bills. E.g Jonathan Inaugurates 105,000 Metric Tones Integrated Rice Mill in Nasarawa which is the largest rice farm in Africa. His govt was working so that the common man can see food on the table. Over the years, the distribution of fertilizers has remained a racketeering business for some group of persons.As a way of curbing the racketeering syndicate in the distribution of fertilizers,his govt introduced Nigeria Incentive based Risk Sharing Systems for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL) by the Central Bank of Nigeria. Jonathan's govt built major abandoned roads in the North , south west and other regions of the country. The Lagos Ibadan, Lagos Benin express road which was abandoned by ur mighty obasanjo for his 8 wasted yrs of his govt are now reconstructed. What of Jona's railway refurbishment? Just to mention but this few for now. Obasanjo's tenure was a wasted govt and looted the country dry.
