The former president
believes his former deputy will perform two times better than the incumbent if
he wins at the polls next month.
Former president, Olusegun
Obasanjo, has further slammed President Muhammadu Buhari of utter incompetence,
nepotism and condoning evil and misconduct, and undeserving of re-election.
In an interview with BBC
Pidgin, published on Tuesday, January 22, 2019, the former president said his
former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, would make a better president than
Buhari.
Obasanjo and Atiku had
previously fallen out during their administration, between 1999 and 2007, as
Obasanjo accused Atiku of being corrupt while Atiku stood in the way of
Obasanjo's doomed third term ambition.
Since then, Obasanjo had
publicly opposed Atiku's presidential ambition in 2007, 2011 and 2015, and
vowed in August 2018 that he'd never be on the same side with his former
deputy.
However, Obasanjo has since
gone back on his word and publicly endorsed Atiku's candidacy as the former
vice president is set to battle Buhari in the February 16 presidential
election.
When asked during the
interview why he forgave Atiku, Obasanjo said his former deputy expressed
remorse over his past actions and asked for his forgiveness.
Speaking further, he said
even though Atiku is not a saint, he would do better as Nigeria's president
than the man who currently steers the nation's affairs.
He said Buhari's
performance during his first term in office has shown that he cannot be trusted
with a second term.
He said, "Atiku is not
a messiah, he's not a saint; and fortunately, he's not claimed to be. He's not
claimed a fake sanctimoniousness. He came here, acknowledged and showed
remorse.
"He acknowledged his
past misdeed and showed remorse and all the things I've said about him still
remains. I said them and nobody has come to controvert them but I am a believer
and a Christian as such, and the teaching of God in my own religion is forgive
so that you can be forgiven.
"The choice that we
have for the immediate Nigerian situation today is between the candidate of APC
and PDP.
"From what I know of
Buhari and what he has done and shown - his utter incompetence, nepotism and
condonation of evil and misconduct, including corruption, the weakness of the
body, mind and totality of Buhari compared with Atiku, I believe Atiku will
perform two times better than Buhari."
Its such as you read my thoughts! You seem to grasp
ReplyDeleteso much about this, such as you wrote the e-book
in it or something. I believe that you can do with some % to pressure the message house a little
bit, but other than that, that is fantastic blog. A great read.
I'll certainly be back. I’ve been browsing on-line
more than 3 hours as of late, but I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing
article like yours. It is pretty price sufficient for me.
In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made just
right content material as you probably did, the net will likely be much more helpful than ever before.
Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Chrome.
I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something
to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to
let you know. The style and design look great though!
Hope you get the problem solved soon. Many thanks http://foxnews.net/
But these days, that's not really much of a issue.
