ABUJA – Signs that ex-president Olusegun
Obasanjo subtly amassed support for the
election of General Mohammadu Buhari
as the Nigeria’s next president and also
wants him to succeed in office became
evident Thusday when he handed over a
report of a strategic development plan to
Buhari.
The reports contained templates that
would assist the incoming government to
rapidly achieve its objectives of taking the
nation a notch higher.
Top on the list were Education, Power
sector, Economy, Security and
Infrastructure.
The development followed a research
work embarked upon by the Centre for
Human Security of the Olusegun Obasanjo
Presidential Library on major social
challenges facing Nigeria 4 months ago.
The event which took place at the Buhari
Support Organization, BSO’s office in
Abuja featured the chairman, governing
board of the Centre for Human Security of
Obasanjo Presidential Library, Professor
Akin Mabogunje, who was incidentally the
chairman of the committee, former
Minister of Finance and Committees vice
chairman, Dr. Kalu Idika Kalu who present
volumes of the report to Buhari and Dr.
Christopher Kolade who headed the
power committee.
Speaking to Journalists at the end of the
brief ceremony that was held behind
closed doors, Mabogunje said the report
contained policy documents that would
help the president-elect restructure
Nigeria, revealing that Buhari was full of
thanks for the documents.
He said: “Centre for Human Security of
the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential
Liberary has being working on a number
of critical issues for the development of
this country and they have now sent a
delegation of those who’ve been involved
with the preparation of those policy
documents to talk to the president-elect
and get him to appreciate what is being
done to help his administration. That’s
why we are here.
“We’ve looked at education, security,
economy, power and Infrastructure.
Those are the areas we’ve made
recommendations and which we hope the
new administration will be able to work
on.
“He (Buhari) was very happy that we’ve
been thinking about how to help him hit
the ground running and he expressed his
appreciation for what we’ve been doing.”
Giving details of the reports, Dr. Kolade
explained the long, medium and short
terms goals of the report.
According to him, the strategic plan
hoped to raise the country’s power
generation to 10,000 MW within a short
period of time.
Expanding thoughts on the development
also, the Buhari’s media spokesperson,
Mallam Garba Shehu said “the whole idea
was that Obasanjo set up his own think-
tank with the aim of carrying out a study
on challenges facing the country in five
key areas of Education, Power sector,
Economy, Security and Infrastructure.
The study was commissioned four months
ago so that the outcome will be made
available to the incoming administration
after the election.”
He also stated that the president-elect
expressed gratitude to Obasanjo for their
kind gesture, however regretting that the
outgoing regime of president Goodluck
Jonathan had not done anything close to
that.
“An appreciative President-elect
expressed gratitude to Obasanjo and his
team, describing their intervention as a
great impetus for the incoming
government.
Buhari regretted that the out-going
government that is supposed to give him
tips on how to take-off has done nothing
so far. He thanked the Obasanjo for their
gesture, assuring them that his incoming
administration will be needing their
advice as time goes on”, Shehu said.
Mallam Ahmed Joda, chairman of Buhari
transition committee refused to speak in
his capacity as the transition committee
chairman when asked by Journalists to
make input.
“I am here not in the capacity of the
chairman of the transition committee. I
am here because I am a chairman of one
of the committees of the centre that
consider security issues at the Obasanjo
centre for human security”, he said.

OreMI22:
Kini??

Obasanjo already controlling his puppet.

Bro, You took that outta my mouth, my thought exactly!

Great and fantastic news,though OBJ is one of the reasons Nigeria has remain stagnant by forcing a dying man on us and later went on to complete the rout by hand picking a man bereft of ideas, political suave and clout.

I have this sneaky feeling that OBJ wants to right his wrongs through Buhari.

I hope he does that
