Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has congratulated the Presidential candidate of the All progressives congress Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd,,) on his victory in the presidential poll, charging him to fight corruption and carry out reforms in different sectors.

The congratulatory message was made available to our correspondent at Abeokuta on Tuesday following Buhari victory in the March 28 presidential election.

Obasanjo, who noted that so much harm had already been done to many national institutions, including the military, however, advised him to be magnanimous in victory.

He said, “With so much harm already done to many national institutions including the military, which proudly nurtured you and me, you will have a lot to do on institution reform – education, healthcare, economy, security, infrastructure, power, youth employment, agri-business, oil and gas, external affairs, cohesiveness of our nation and ridding our land of corruption.

“Your varied and wide experience will undoubtedly stand you in good stead.”

The former president said the country “is blessed with men and women of goodwill, character and virtue across the board that you can mobilise to join hands with you in the reform, repairs and re-direction that will be imperative to put Nigeria back on the fast lane of good governance, unity, cohesiveness, development and progress.”

Obasanjo noted that Buhari’s victory, after three previous unsuccessful attempts, must be a great lesson to himself and for all politicians, particularly in Nigeria.

He said, “For me, the totality of 2015 elections hold many lessons for our democracy and democratisation process, which are both maturing.

“On this occasion, the system has been unnecessarily overheated before and particularly during the campaigns when emphasis was more on trivialities and hate, divisive, undignifying and disrespectful statements and comments rather than on pressing issues requiring attention.

“I know that in victory, you will be magnanimous to start binding the wounds and bitterness occasioned by the campaign and the evil disciples.”

Obasanjo does not have d spirit of sportsmanship that GEJ has.

I think we should confer on GEJ d title of "Father of a new democratic era in Nigeria".

His determination not to interfere with election process contributed so much to the success of the process.

Jega's firmness should not be forgotten, as his strong character stood head n shoulders above the shadiness of scumbag politicians.

Men of the Year;

GEJ
Jega
GMB

...in that order.

God bless the yoruba people.


The Yoruba's intellectual ability, these
people are highly intelligent and
academically sound, you cant deceive them,
not even showers of dollars. I want to use
this opportunity to thank the Yoruba's for
their massive support for the peoples'
general.

Right now getting my Power Bike set's ahead of tomorrow morning. just celebration every where here in Kano already.

Wishing my friends that just had an accident while celebrating quick recovery.

Thank you everyone.
One love
one Nigeria.

Yes Baba...Thanks.

Let's not leave the fight against corruption for only the president (even though APC supporters think he can do it alone)
The president can't be everywhere.

Eliminating corruption is an organic process. Let's embrace honesty and transparency in our individual lives and with time we will see corruption reduced to bear minimum.

godfather of corruption asking for corruption be fought, if he truly wants corruption to be fought, he should voluntary turn himself into kiri kiri prison, and others will follow, foolish man!

Correct talk !!

Celebrating GMB'S victory

They said buhari would cry again. If at all buhari cries again it would be tears of joy during his acceptance speech.
