Watch, in London today, former
President Olusegun Obasanjo urged
Nigerians not to die for a mediocre
performer, and said he maintains
the statement credited to him of his
endorsement of APC presidential
candidate, Gen Buhari.
“ What I said and I maintain that
and I will say it again and I will do
it. When the time comes for me to
vote, I will consider the track
record of all the candidates that
are contesting and I will assess
and based on my assessment for
who I believe have the best track
record to perform the job of the
Nigerian president, then he will
have my vote and if anybody
should know what the job of the
Nigerian president requires, I
should know.
“And there is no sentiment in the
affairs of Nigeria.Nigeria is a
population of 180million and you
wouldn’t have anybody other than
one person or two persons that
can run the affairs of Nigeria?
What the hell are we talking
about? For me there are millions
who can run the affairs of Nigeria
that are not even coming out.
So why should you die on behalf of
one who is probably performing as
a mediocre.
With all due respect. Nigeria, if
you love it, you would look for the
best for Nigeria and I don’t believe
that at this point in time we have
the best” he said
