Obasanjo Clears Air On Reported Buhari Endorsement by x9ja1960: 10:07am On Feb 12, 2015
Former president of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has again cleared the air on his stand concerning the forthcoming presidential elections, as well as the candidate he will support.

At the launch of his new book ‘My Watch’ in the United Kingdom, Obasanjo responded to questions on reports that he had endorsed the presidential candidate of the APC, General Muhammadu Buhari, maintaining that his wish is to see Nigeria headed by a strong president.

“Well, whatever you get in the paper and in the press, please yourself, he said, referring to guests at the event who wanted to confirm the reported endorsement.

He added that “”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.”

He further noted that “Nigeria has a population of 180 million 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 who 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 for Nigeria,” he said.

All I can see is that Baba reiterated his support for BUHARI

He believes Jonathan is a failure and Nigerians deserve a better leader

Baba OBJ has spoken well and millions of Nigerians are in the same course of salvaging Nigeria from the havoc jona has done to her

We are more than 180 million yet, it must be Obasanjo who ruled for 3 terms ( attempted a fourth), Buhari who is looking for a 2 term and Goodluck running for 2.5 term.
These people have taken us for donkeys in this country and the only thing we do is to continue clapping for them.

Ever wondered why the media (foreign and local) have carefully and consciously continued to make GMB appear a Saint/Messiah and silent on the Dictator and Power usurper he really is?

Ever wondered why the body language of the opposition and their words continue to speak and insinuate violence, coup...is this what they really are?

Ever wondered why APC suddenly have solution to all our problems but decided to keep it hidden all the while we suffered...do they really care?

Ever wondered why after declaring he will never contest for elective position again to give way for younger generation to take over, GMB never volunteered to become EFCC boss...if corruption is really his pain all these years?

Ever wondered why APC has refused to acknowledge that Boko Haram and Terrorism is in fact a global issue but rather condemned as disgrace the deployment of AU forces, yet fail to point out that the US and other world powers has been battling terrorism with little success...do they really understand?

Ever wondered why the media suddenly make the postponement of this election seem like GEJ has in fact committed a coup against GMB...lol...they are so sure of victory aren't they?

Ever wondered why APC and the foreign media have refused to give GEJ credit for his history of allowing free and fair elections...they are not used to democracy are they?

Ever wondered why APC see absolutely nothing good in GEJ and his government...they must be bad belle people, aren't they? lol
