2019: Obasanjo Denies Saying That Nigeria Will Collapse If Buhari Is Reelected by Upritman(op): 4:50pm On Mar 18, 2018
Nigeria’s former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has denied an insinuation going round that He said Nigeria will collapse President Buhari is reelected in 2019.

The denial and clarification are coming after rumours that Obasanjo made the comment in a speech at the Blavatnik School of Government, Oxford University, on Friday.
The former President insisted that he had not even been to London since early January when he spoke on transformational leadership in Africa at Oxford University.
According to Him, Nigeria has become too solid as a country for any force, calamity or misgovernance to destroy it.

Speaking after a meeting of the InterAction Council of Former Heads of State and Government, holding in Azerbaijan, Obasanjo said:
“I won’t and can’t say that (that Nigeria will collapse if Buhari is reelected),” the former president said. “There will be nothing that will make Nigeria collapse. When Nigeria did not collapse under a civil war, it won’t collapse now.
“My faith and conviction about Nigeria is so strong that I don’t see the country either being dismembered or collapsing.
“The worst has passed on Nigeria. Once we were able to survive the civil war, once we are able to survive (Sani) Abacha, nothing can be worst than those two. And our democracy is waxing strong. Although there are a few things we need to get right.
“As far I am concerned, the worst is over. What remains is for all of us and for our leadership to show good faith and commitment to do what is right. Then Nigeria will grow from strength to strength.”

Speaking further on his recent criticisms against the Buhari administration, Obasanjo said:
“I regard those as aberrations and they will pass away. Such aberrations will pass away with the regime that brings them.
“Don’t forget that Abacha did more than that. Of course Abacha’s regime was not a democracy, it was a military dictatorship. If we survived that, then we will survive any shenanigan against democracy. That’s the greatest advantage of democracy.”

Hmmmmmmm

Between 12p.m yrsterday and 6 a.m this morning, a great force must have blown across Nigerian considering this gale of confessions, accusations and denials upadawn. Father let no evil intention against PMB and Naija not prosper. Whoever that persists in such deeds may he be stung in the scrotum by a thousand Afghan fleas
