Buhari Picks Obasanjo As 'Envoy' To Guinea-Bissau by Nobody: 3:19pm On Aug 21, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari has sent former President
Olusegun Obasanjo as his special envoy to Guinea Biussau
to mediate in the conflict in the West African country.

According to Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, Buhari
is “deeply concerned by the unfolding political situation in
Guinea Bissau following the dismissal of the prime minister,
Domingos Simoes Pereira and his cabinet by President Jose
Mario Vaz”.

“In demonstration of true African solidarity and brotherhood,
President Buhari has sent former President Olusegun
Obasanjo as his special envoy to mediate and help find a
solution to the crisis brewing in Guinea Bissau,” Adesina
said.

“Chief Obasanjo embarked on the first leg of his mission by
consulting with the current chairman of the ECOWAS
authority of heads of state and government, President
Macky Sall of Senegal in Dakar yesterday.

“It is regrettable that while Chief Obasanjo was still
consulting with President Sall, President Jose Mario Vaz of
Guinea Bissau proceeded to appoint and swear-in a new
prime minister in the person of Mr Baciro Dja, a
development that has worsened the political situation in his
country.

“President Buhari appeals for calm and calls on the
leadership in Guinea Bissau to exercise utmost restraint and
ensure the maintenance of law and order as efforts continue
to resolve the current crisis.

“The president particularly urges the leadership in Guinea
Bissau, including the military, to ensure respect for
constitutional order, sanctity of life and safety of citizens,
and avoid taking any further action that can threaten the
fragile democratic institutions recently established in the
country.”

After falling out with Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan before
the presidential election and directing the tearing of
his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) membership card,
Obasanjo publicly backed Buhari’s candidature but vowed
to remain non-partisan.

This is his first official assignment for Buhari, who went on
to win the election.

Ebora Owu is still very well regarded not only in Africa but world at large.

In Nigeria of today, he remains one of a very few past HOS with international recognition to be able to do that.

Buhari should even appoint him as the envoy to U.N. Rubbish!

The man (Buhari) is surely a dull'ard, The Envoy he's sending has not finished mediating in his immediate family and in this country, But he's sending him to another country. Aren't there other vibrant people he can appoint.
Just imagine Obasanjo who's kworupsion personified.

OBASANJO!!!


I have never seen a man as corrupt, wicked and cunning like dis man.

OBJ doesn't steal, but wherever he crosses, something must go wrong there!

OBJ doesn't east meat but he uses his teeth to share it to little children.

Aside restoring Nigeria internally as a nation,PMB is clearly also out to assert our eminent position in African cum international politics.
Its very instructive to note that his appointing obj is a proactive initiative to assert our big brother role.
Even if the situation was getting out of hand,I bliv with a letter of authority from PMB appointing OBJ as a mediator,the Guinea Bissau leaders will give him a positive response.

I think PMB does not know what it means to fight corruption.

Another name for corruption is OBJ.

But come to look at it, i think there's something PMB is not telling Nigerians.

And some people including OBJ knows and have the evidence to prove this secret.

If PMB is as simple and corruption free like he made some people to believe
then why has he refused to declare his asset publicly like he or APC promised,
after all he was he does not even have euogh money buy for his APC nomination
and presidential form so what is he hiding.

APC looks more like a conspiracy against some certain people in this country, only time will tell.
Hmmmmm.... I smell RAT...... BIG RAT......

I thought Buhari will only appoint people of integrity?
We all know OBJ cannot be called a man of integrity.

Can we now see that this integrity talk is coated with thick layers of hypocrisy?

It is better not to talk about integrity at all rather than make a mockery of the word.

Buhari and Obasanjo - Quid pro Quo!!


Obasanjo was both President and Oil minister at the same time. After his administration, $16 billion was alleged to have been stolen from the energy sector alone.

Obasanjo's Kangaroo Probe Panel cleared Buhari of allegation of billions of Naira kept by Buhari in a London Bank during the period Buhari was Oil Ministry boss.
